Mass Deportations or Mass Detentions?

Originally published at: Mass Deportations or Mass Detentions?

Hello it’s the weekend. This is The Weekender :coffee: The GOP spent the entire 2024 campaign promising “mass deportations.” Now in office, the Trump administration has directed its largest demonstrations of abuse towards that slogan. The Alien Enemies Act removals to CECOT? Look how far they’ll go to get people out of the country as…

Mass Deportation or Mass Detentions? I would say both!
What I really can’t get over is the new facility “Alligator Alcatraz”, we are just hearing about it now and it turns out it is already built??? Where was the environnmental impact statement, who funded it? Many, many quesitons.
They say Rome wasn’t built in a day but this place sure was!

It was good to see mention of tribal concerns as to the location of Alligator Auschwitz.It may seem like desolate swamp to trump and his cronies but it’s a unique ecosystem and home to Native American tribes, some of whom we relocated there long ago. Just another travesty in a long string of them. Valentine is starting to drink heavily……

Indeed. The facility is entirely within the boundary of Big Cypress Wildlife Management Area. See the map below with the “Jetport” at the lower right corner.

The Preserve spans parts of Collier, Dade, and Monroe counties and borders Everglades National Park, protecting the area’s unique ecosystem. Big Cypress, which was the the first preserve in the National Park Service, was established in 1974 to protect water quality and to ensure the continuing ecological integrity of the area.

As far a I can tell, the WMA is operated by Florida Fish and Wildlife, and the Jetport itself s owned by Miami-Dade County and operated by the Miami-Dade Aviation Department. A mix of jurisdictions but I guess ultimately under the state’s control with DeSantis?

Anyway, you don’t put 1,000 or more prisoners in that area without sewage treatment or haul-out to protect that fragile environment. And not just locally, because all groundwater from that area flows directly south into Everglades National Park. Did they just use Trump’s “move fast and break things” agenda to bypass an environmental impact sturdy?

+1000. One more of his personal fantasies fulfilled by his public office. It’s just common dense.

You got that right. We’re building a camp to concentrate the undesirables together while we plan a final solution.

I guarantee there will be ghettos in the “Warsaw Ghetto” sense.

I asked yesterday but nobody answered directly.

State taxes are going to go up in every state, right? Unless the prison complex brings in enough dollars in Red States to offest the other devastations.

When they run out deportations they will then turn to mass detentions of we the people.
Just preparing “Alligator Alcatraz” so they have a place to place us.

States with Medicaid expansion will have to get the make-up money somewhere, or else drop the program. Also, not every state has income tax. These states do not (WA taxes capital gains past a certain point):

  • Alaska
  • Florida
  • Nevada
  • New Hampshire
  • South Dakota
  • Tennessee
  • Texas
  • Washington
  • Wyoming

Yep. It isn’t climate change…it’s liberal traytor secret scientists manipulating the weather.

And the cuts to medicaid and healthcare collapse are Biden’s fault

What do you call the stage in history where you build concentration camps and give them cutesy names?

Right. Thanks!

But it won’t just be medicaid funding. No FEMA, fed dollars disappearing down the ICEHole, climate change ravages, insurance companies pulling out or tripling premiums. No regulatory bodies, LE needs escalating, horrible recessions and shortages, healthcare system collapse, sicker and more stricken populace, etc.

And the deprivations from capitalism run-amok.

It’s going to be expensive.

Dems shoud be out in front predicting the things Rs and Chump will be saying. Every time they are on a show or in front of a mic…make sure to spare a moment to warn the audience of the exact kind of stoopid, outrageous things they will say to shift blame. “You are going to hear Empty Greene or Fat Hitler say _____”

Some Replies to the MTG tweet mentioned Geo manipulation and weather machines, and they have to wrest control of the weather machines from Dems. No FEMA. children likely died. And their parents voted for this.
