If they’ve committed a violent crime, they should already be in jail or prison same as if a citizen did it. If their only offense is being in the country illegally, deport them right away. There’s no reason to round up nonviolent offenders and store them in a warehouse like chattel.
Yes, I could never understand this, unless they are not doing due diligence verifying who has legal rights to stay here and need to do this due diligence retroactively after rounding people up. Which isn't what American populace signed up for, even those who are in favor of mass deportations.
This is the reason to round up nonviolent offenders and store them in a warehouse like chattel.

MAGA better be careful because a lot of them might end up in one. I wouldn't believe this admin when they say they're for immigrants. This admin lies about everything.

As always with Republicans today, the cruelty is the point. Not efficiency. Not good policy. Not what works. The opportunity to be cruel is the driving energy of MAGA Republicans.
Being in the country without documentation is a CIVIL, not a criminal offense. They should not be jailed at all.
Cruelty is definitely the point. Miller must have been dissed by a Latina, and he's getting his revenge on the entire culture.
A lot of right wingers are also against this TBH, worrying that this normalizes detaining people (effectively jailing them) without due process, based purely on suspicion. If detention center excuse is to allow due diligence to make sure wrong people aren't deported. This can mean that any American citizen can be detained based on any type of suspicion with no legal discourse, separated from their family and put into prison like setting for who know how long. The fear is that dissidents or anyone inconvenient to whatever regime (this goes for overreach of BOTH parties) would be primary target. This fear appears to be bipartisan.
I have to add that for the left this fear is that those who protest against ICE actions and other things current administration is doing these prisons would serve as an excuse to intimidate them and neuter any type of movement. For the right (especially those who were vehemently against Covid measures) the fear is that these detention centers will become future quarantine camps where people suspected to carry whatever virus will be imprisoned (but in reality they could also be dissidents of the left wing regime). Logically, this entire idea is against our fundamental American freedoms to not be imprisoned without due diligence. We release dangerous criminals on bail (and without bail in some locations), while we create a system where masses of families can be imprisoned for vague reasons. The worst part of it is because it's immigrant detention centers they are built for families... This itself should give us a pause.

What is the worst case scenario with these warehouses? That is a lot of space to have to detain people. What do you all think they are planning? All illegal immigrants or others too? Would US soldiers really go along with this sort of thing?

Can we send the Epstein pedos to one of these warehouses instead, preferably in a hot, miserable location?

Williamsport building was previously owned by Fundrise. They built it a couple years ago.

The government has been buying up several dozen mega warehouses around the country to turn into detention centers. One is in Hagerstown Maryland.
More than 200 people showed up to protest the warehouse plans in Hagerstown on Jan. 20 in below-freezing temperatures. “One of the most obscene, one of the most inhumane, one of the most illegal operations being carried out by this Trump Administration is what they’re doing at the Department of Homeland Security and ICE,” US Senator Chris Van Hollen, a Maryland Democrat, told the protesters. “We do not want an ICE facility here in the state of Maryland.”
To reach its goal of deporting 1 million people a year, the Trump administration has said it needs more than 100,000 detention beds. Currently, there are more than 73,000 people in ICE custody, a record. The new sites could give the agency an additional 76,500 beds, according to documents shared with Bloomberg News. To fill all of them, the administration would have to expand immigration arrests beyond what it is already doing, said Emma Winger, deputy legal director at the American Immigration Council.

Stop calling them the euphemistic "detention centers."
Call them what they are: Concentration Camps.
Run by the Trump's Gestapo.
+1 Oxford dictionary says the 2026 American ones fit the definition
"a place where large numbers of people, especially political prisoners or members of persecuted minorities, are deliberately imprisoned in a relatively small area with inadequate facilities"

Why the need to detain these people for long periods of time, especially since the guvment keeps asserting the people ICE is collecting already have deportation orders or criminal convictions? Such people should not require long periods of detention. Some contractors are making ungodly amounts of money and government employees such as Stephen Miller are getting kickbacks
