"Two cases of tuberculosis and 18 cases of COVID-19 were recently identified at a massive immigration detention center in El Paso, according to city officials and a Democratic congresswoman.

El Paso’s U.S. Rep. Veronica Escobar disclosed the infections after her Friday visit to Camp East Montana, the 5,000-bed tent facility the federal government hastily built last year on the Fort Bliss Army base."

The world must know:🚨 #ICE #detention facilities have become💔 #DeathCamps, where people suffer & slowly DIE:

“It’s cold here all the time & the food is poor,” the missive continues.🚨“For 280 days we haven’t eaten a single piece of fruit, banana, apple, orange, or anything fresh. We're all in one big room with no doors or windows. We can’t see any grass or trees.💔We're all constantly sick.”

The note is from a man held captive inside the OMDC.

"Meanwhile, AT&T, Home Depot, Amazon, and Microsoft are providing ICE and Border Patrol with cloud computing, surveillance software, and logistical support that’s central to how they function. This corporate collaboration makes large-scale enforcement possible."

"ICE’s latest recruitment ads — built around music and language drawn straight from far-right neo-Nazi memes and aimed at extremists who are most fervent about guns, tactical gear, and vigilantism — are being distributed by and are profiting two companies you probably use all the time: YouTube and Google."

Think again. I grew up in the household of a lawyer who ran for a judge's seat twice. I learned bitter lessons early in life about how absolutely not blind justice is in the US when money is waved under Lady Justice's blindfold.

Follow the money … right to the judge's seat and the courtroom.

As you think about judges (in this case, in the right-wing Fifth Circuit) getting on board with this program of ethnic cleansing and mass detention (see /1-4 above), think about all the money flowing around behind the scenes to purchase and fit out those warehouses as huge prisons. Think judges aren't swayed by money?

"One of the three warehouses identified in the report as already having been purchased is in San Antonio, Texas — within the Fifth Circuit. It is 'nearly 640,000 square feet,' and a local NBC report from Jaie Avila stated that the warehouse 'will be turned into a 1,500 bed ICE detention center.'"

"The proposed centers are so large that some could house as many as 8,000 detainees at once, according to a DHS spreadsheet of more than 20 potential locations that was verified by NBC News. The largest federal prison in the U.S., for example, has roughly 4,000 inmates."

Yep. That's indeed fascist. No doubt about it!

"Under the cover of a looming partial government shutdown and a nation reeling from immigration agent-involved killings, the Department of Homeland Security is quietly supercharging its detention infrastructure.

A massive Navy contract vehicle, once valued at $10 billion, has ballooned to a staggering $55 billion ceiling to expedite President Donald Trump’s “mass deportation” agenda.

The mechanism for this expansion is the Worldwide Expeditionary Multiple Award Contract (WEXMAC), originally designed for military logistics abroad. In a move to bypass traditional competition delays, the Navy’s Supply Systems Command has repurposed the vehicle for “TITUS”—Territorial Integrity of the United States.

This $45 billion increase, published just weeks ago, converts the U.S. into a “geographic region” for expeditionary military-style detention. It signals a massive, long-term escalation in the government’s capacity to pay for detention and deportation logistics. In the world of federal contracting, it is the difference between a temporary surge and a permanent infrastructure."

"The diagnosis Dr. N entered—possible pneumonia—provided justification, but it was not the reason she admitted him. She felt responsible for the patient’s future, so she made up a diagnosis to orchestrate an admission. Dr. N figured that immigration agents could not simply wait in the hallway. She hoped they would leave.

They did."
