Trump is trying to avoid the accusation of running concentration camps by outsourcing the "disappeared ones" to prisons in other nations. He knows that such camps in the US would become focal points of protests and demonstrations. They would also take time to build and staff. So, just grab people off the street, ship them to foreign prisons, and pay foreign governments to take them.
DOGE is supposed to cut the costs of government? Well, they could start by eliminating the costs of planes and foreign prisons for Trump's concentration camps.
Trump, Miller, and ICE have already moved beyond imprisoning people who lack documentation. They are now sending legal asylum seekers to Trump's foreign concentration camps. It won't stop there. They are pushing to eliminate birthright citizenship. Then they could then ship US born citizens to the foreign concentration camps if their parents were here with or without documentation.
This unholy trio of Trump, Miller, and ICE would next move on to revoke citizenship for naturalized people that they don't want here.
When will they start shipping American born citizens of US citizen parents to foreign concentration camps because of their political views?
We know this movie. The world has seen it before. Silence about this is complicity. Remember what Martin Niemoller said:
"First they came for the Socialists and I did not speak out because I was not a Socialist.
Then they came for the trade unionists but I did not speak out because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews and I did not speak out because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me, and there was no one left to speak out for me."

We need to look into potential detainees there. I'll bet ICE has contracts with them.
We need to see the contracts in their entirety.
FOIA.
