An internal document shows the U.S. Navy has developed a plan to construct 'austere' tent cities capable of holding tens of thousands of immigration detainees on remote bases in California, Alabama and Arizona.
The Navy planning doc obtained by TIME says two sites in California could house up to 47,000 immigrants each, two sites in Alabama could host 25,000.

New judges (with more coming), tent cities.

(148,726 posts)Just this week, they arrested 140 people in a raid of an Ohio meat packing plant. Watch for more big sweeps by ICE. I think they're planning to send them to the concentration camps. "Austere" is a word that effectively describes such substandard "detention" facilities.
I fear we are about to see some things we don't want to see. The reason they're putting them on military bases is the effective access control at such bases. They can keep out anyone they want, and will, no doubt.

(46,664 posts)These foreign nationals (moms dads and kids) are being treated like POWs...
apparently in military facilities now.. except without even the
protections afforded a POW much less their actual rights ...
nor is there any visibility or accountability to congress,
the press or humanitarian groups. These families are hostages.
And their treatment by America is truly heinous...
it is quite possibly, torture. Do the Geneva Conventions even apply?

Unity of the family is taken into consideration in the various provisions relative to persons deprived of their freedom. The Fourth Geneva Convention states that, wherever possible, interned members of the same family shall be housed in the same premises and given separate accommodation from other internees, together with facilities for leading a proper family life (article 82). Internees may request that their children who are left at liberty without parental care shall be interned with them (article 82). According to Protocol I, families arr ested, detained or interned shall, whenever possible, be accommodated as family units (article 75, 5).

We are now in hurricane season on the gulf coast.
Doesn't seem like a good time to set up tent cities or whatever.
Hurricane evacuation is bad enough down here as it is.
