It also remains one of the saddest things about this whole sordid era: Bad enough to have a major party succumb to a demagogue, but it’s a personality cult around a doddering buffoon who is, along every personal, professional, and moral dimension, one of the least admirable humans on earth.
Trumpism is a personality cult. This is bad because the cultists have no loyalty to anything beyond Trump and no principles outside of pleasing Trump. But it also means Trumpism is unlikely to have much force without Trump himself.
House Oversight hearing on ICE opens with the rules:

"It is also a clear violation of the rules of the House to make statements that might personally be offensive to the President or the Vice President of the United States."

"A modern-day concentration camp ... People have been killed by the staff here." Irish citizen Seamus Culleton has been in ICE detention since September, despite having a valid work permit and his own business in the US.

there is an inherent freedom that goes hand in hand with anonymity
(the reason ICE wants to wear masks is that they actually know how unpopular this is and don't want to be identified as the people doing it)

This is the 38th time that the U.S. military has unlawfully killed civilians on the orders of Pete Hegseth and Donald Trump. At least 130 people — never charged with crimes, their identities unknown to their executioners — are now dead.

GOP Sen Lummis says she’s changed her mind after the new Epstein revelations today: “Initially my reaction to all this was, I don’t care. I don’t see what the big deal is. But now I see what the big deal is. The members of Congress who were pushing this were not wrong!”

White Catholics enjoy a good mess of pottage almost as much as the Evangelicals do. A sad commentary on deculturation.

they are also paying a premium because it’s corrupt
ICE is likely paying a premium to get the deal through quickly. E.g., in Hamburg, PA, the warehouse was purchased in 2024 for $57.5 million and sold to ICE for $87 million.

The real profit will come with the private prison companies and contractors hired to refurbish and staff these facilities.

The Louisiana penitentiary holds thousand 7000 inmates and needs 1800 staff. There are not enough trained people in the country to run these places unless they’re going to cripple the actual prisons.
ICE has now spent over half a BILLION dollars just on purchasing warehouses around the country to convert into detention camps.

If these mega-camps are utilized to the full capacity ICE intends, they'll be the largest prisons in the country, with little real oversight. www.ajc.com/politics/202...
