Summary

Incoming Trump administration “border czar” Tom Homan announced plans to resume family detentions as part of a crackdown on undocumented immigrants.

Families with children will be held in tent-like facilities, and parents may face the choice of deporting as a family or leaving US-born children behind.

Homan, known for his role in Trump’s first-term family separation policy, also plans to reinstate worksite raids and the “remain in Mexico” program.

Critics warn these policies, ended under Biden, harm children and undermine humanitarian standards.

    Then the program requests more funding / money, which gets pocketed by the privatized people executing on the plans.

    This is all just a huge grift to keep people angry and scared, make people suffer, and steal money.

    I hate all of these people.

      It doesn’t have to be that complicated. Just house them overcrowded in tents in the middle of the desert, don’t provide them with facilities for life, and let them die. It’s what was happening last time. Read some of the accounts from people who visited the facilities and found unresponsive babies or people in obvious urgent medical distress.
