SCOOP: A repurposed Navy contract is funneling tens of billions into a "ghost network" of detention camps that can materialize anywhere in America overnight.
Got it. Guessing Van Hollen is the right person to bring it up to since he was already livid at the purchase in Hagerstown and misusing Navy funds should be a big deal in MD.

The Trump administration, through U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), is reportedly in early-stage discussions to purchase and retrofit large warehouses—originally designed for e-commerce giants like Amazon—into expansive “mega-detention centers” for holding immigrants amid planned mass deportations.
These facilities would be significantly larger than existing ICE detention sites, averaging more than twice the size, to accommodate a rapid expansion of detention capacity.
This aligns with broader immigration enforcement strategies under the new administration, including prior considerations of involving the U.S. Navy for faster construction of detention networks.
A departure from traditional models
This initiative marks a stark departure from the traditional model of immigrant detention.
Historically, ICE has relied heavily on a network of facilities owned and operated by private prison corporations or state governments, which are then contracted to hold detainees.
Under this new plan, ICE would purchase the warehouses outright, owning the properties directly.
Furthermore, the agency intends to staff these mega-centers with its own federal employees, rather than contractors or military personnel, consolidating direct federal control over the entire detention process.
The financial muscle for this ambitious expansion would come from the massive budget reconciliation package President Donald Trump signed earlier this year, a bill he famously dubbed the “One Big Beautiful Bill.”
This allocation is part of a broader, historic funding injection for ICE, transforming it into the largest federal law enforcement agency.
The move occurs against a backdrop of White House frustration.
Despite campaign promises of mass deportations, ICE has struggled to meet daily arrest quotas and fill hiring goals, leading to the replacement of some senior leaders.
The warehouse plan is the latest in a series of unconventional and often contentious ideas the administration has pursued to secure more detention space.

The warehouse plan is the latest in a series of unconventional and often contentious ideas the administration has pursued to secure more detention space.
Previous efforts have included exploring the use of tents at the U.S. Naval Base in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba – a plan that ultimately did not materialize – and establishing large-scale tent facilities at Fort Bliss, Texas.
The persistent search for new capacity highlights the administration’s unwavering commitment to a policy of maximum enforcement, regardless of the practical or ethical hurdles.
As the administration moves forward with this plan, the nation must confront the reality of what these vast warehouses represent – a monumental and potentially irreversible hardening of the American border, both physically and philosophically.

Nowadays, the US has that huge PRIVATE Prison Industrial Complex, which is a modern form of slavery..
For example, the "UNICOR" Corp., being part of the Military Industrial Complex, has more than 150 private prison factories. In 2021, the inmates' hourly wage there was between $0.23 and $1.15, while the minimal wage of a "free" American was $7.25. How? Thanks to that nice little exclusion in the 13th Amendment that basically equates prisoners and slaves..
***
The largest private prison companies in the U.S. are GEO Group and CoreCivic. These two companies collectively manage over half of the private prison contracts in the United States with combined revenues of $3.5 billion in 2015.
Abolish ICE- NOW - They have been proven to be a lawless entity working far beyond their mandate , terrorizing, beating, maiming and killing people with zero accountability. Imprisoning people illegally in for profit provisional prisons with no regard to due process. Building further private prisons with navy money to imprison yet more people without due process and in poor conditions is profoundly dangerous and un American-
“DHS is basically shutdown-proof from a funding perspective,” which is an evil genie that will not soon be wrestled back into its bottle. And why we must all be talking about tearing this institution down to its rotten, white supremacist foundations, preferably before the current ethic-cleansing campaign of the US federal government turns into a modern genocide (if it hasn't already).
The April 5th mass protests, that are planned, are a long way off. Things are happening too quickly that establish this Fascist regime. We need to get out now! A lot of people are, but a lot more need to. We can’t just have protests when it is convenient. And all those No King’s people need to put their money where their mouths are. Literally. Boycott these fascist oligarchs! No Amazon! No Home Depot! No Target! And we need to build on those important boycotts. Hit them where it hurts them. All they care about is money. Show them that we have the power. They can no longer use our money to oppress us, to exploit us. Because we have the power if we unite! And we need to do more than react, we need to build a New Country out of what will be the ashes of these fascists. We need to build a new, true Democracy! Something this country has never known. A democracy for all the people! Black people, Brown people, poor people, middle class people, undocumented people. In order to do that we need to take down the oligarchs that oppress us by dividing us. Because The People, United, will Never Be Defeated! An old but true Slogan. All you Fascists bound to lose!!!
