Ice detention population growth is about to explode. The plan for Trump concentration camps is to build each detention center to hold from eight to ten thousand people. According to Rachel Maddow’s report on February 9: The planned size of the new concentration camps is over double the size of the largest Federal prison in the United States, which holds 4,000 people.
Even more disturbing, the new concentration camps could hold people not convicted of a crime. Per Rachel Maddow’s February 9 show:
“But I mean, but at least in the case of existing federal prisons, they’re at least for people who are convicted of federal crimes, right? These new huge prison camps that Trump wants to build, they’re not for people convicted of crimes. They’re for people picked up by his immigration agents, like by ICE.
He is trying to build huge new capacity to hold more than 100,000 people in these prison camps, even if they haven’t been convicted of or even charged with a crime. And with what they’re doing with ICE already, the existing immigration prisons they’ve already got, even before they start building new ones. They’re already the stuff of nightmares right now, right?”
