$45 billion more given to ICE with the bill passed in the senate today. Your taxes going towards (more) ethnic cleansing. They want to strip citizenship from anyone who doesn’t kiss their ass and throw them in these cages. Next step after that will be “lending” the imprisoned for labor.
Any American who doesn’t have “abolish and defund ICE” at the top of their priority list is aiding and abetting fascists.
Minor correction - the bill passed today increases it's overall operating budget by $175B to over $200B total. ICE will become the third most funded armed forces in the world just behind China. $45B is earmarked for camps.
There's about 10M undocumented immigrants in the u.s. This is about $20k each. They're not just going after immigrants.
wtf. It’s almost ENTIRE Chinese army budget ($246 billion). And china has aircraft carriers and nuclear submarines! It’s a budget for a new army
200b This is insane amount of money. They're gearing up for something huge.
They knew the military wouldn't fight civilians, because it has a command structure, but ice will
when this is over, could we use this to house all the ICE thugs and MAGA politicians?
Is there any air conditioning in these units??? Jesus fucking Christ it’s the Florida’s Everglades. They are trying to kill people through heat exhaustion
They are trying to kill people through heat exhaustion
That's a risk they're willing to take (with other people's lives)
If you wanna see how “great” a society is just look at how they treat their prisoners and the animals they eat.
So many fake Christian’s are going to burn in hell. I’m here for that tea.
Unfortunately hell is a mind construct and they are most likely to just be gone after death with no punishment whatsoever.
That's the one thing perhaps that's sad about religion being made up by humans instead of being something real
So many fake Christian’s are going to burn in hell.
Or they would if it was real.
Unfortunately, religion is wide enough for interpretation, that one can use it to justify all kinds of horrid things in the name of it.
These fucking things are held together with zip ties. Jesus Christ. It's both evil and at the same time incompetent.
There are rednecks with guns hoping for an excuse. So it's just plain evil.
I mean there's no fucking roof either and those beds are 3/4 of the height of it, I think they've been watching too much Squid Games. Actually maybe there is a roof.
Without early warning systems, they’ll be hit by an ‘unexpected’ hurricane soon enough. The rising floodwaters will penetrate the cells more easily this way.
That is an interesting point, but they'll just leave prisoners in the cells to die like they did in Katrina.
How often will they let alligators roam? Really dark times we're in. I can't believe how much I took for granted.
Do they have to give some fucking stupid name to everything like some 5 year olds? I can't stand we have the shittiest, dumbest people in charge.
I wonder which members of the GOP personally profited from these being built.
The fucking mosquitoes. Cruel and unusual.
Hey whatever happened to cruel and unusual anyway???
Yeah for being in the Florida Everglades that doesn't even look air conditioned. Cages aside.
