You wonder why ICE got an insane blank check budget: this is it, they will keep operating no matter how much you chop away at the hydra with congressional powers and establishment procedural methods.
Ghettos are important for facism. They let leaders point to them and blame them for the problems. You start a confinement by selling it as good intentions. Eg we're gonna confine homeless here to keep them safe. But, facism creates poverty and crime. So they point to the confined and say they're to blame. If the masses get upset, the leaders can sacrifice the confined to appease them. "We know crime was bad, so we exterminated the camp,, which was the root cause." Then confine a new group.
I wouldn't be surprised if Union Pacific were to get in on the hype but at the same time, they make all their money from freight transportation from businesses, particularly the big name couriers, UPS and FedEx. Union Pacific owns basically the entire railway system but to agree with this comment, I can't think of any reason that they wouldn't join in on it unless there's no profit and/or bad reputation harm. It could be only a matter of time, really...

On an unrelated but pertinent note: something from Irving Berlin:

This tax season, anyone owing taxes should simply not pay it. The US gov't needs to really feel the pushback from its citizens NOW, before midterms.

On the plus side: they aren't wearing masks so we can get some good photos of their faces now

This definitely won't turn into a giant, veiny, throbbing cockup.

More likely a tiny, limp, syphilitic cockup.

"Please" ? .... oh no not "Please" only: "PAPIERE! "

Now, try it in a Gestapo accent.

Well there won't be any death trains this time.
Because that would require the US to actually invest in non car based transit systems.
barbarian818
Just put them on the Amtrak and wait?
KommissarLyus
No, it'll be death U-Hauls.
kraeftig
they'll just use electric semitractor "trains"
Targe0
Electric? In this regime? That kind of talk could buy you a train ticket. /s

Musk needs to find a way to get rid of his old stock, and the teslas tend to catch fire and lock people in the car already...

The death trains were freight trains. US has excellent freight rail network.

Trains are woke, airlines are getting kickbacks for transporting detainees.

no-one is going to be there to train the agents, i know i wont
RooGryphon
Train them how to tie one specific knot and how to use it
Woogyface
bold of you to claim they had training at all
HogWashDiddler
Theyve been trained in racism and bigotry their whole lives. To this admin thats the training that matters.
afatality
its true but it doesn't mean i'll ever give a piece of a percent of respect to the wanna be orange and its cults opinions,
