Detention as logistics: building the structure

This weekend, the Washington Post reported that ICE is exploring a plan to expand detention by using warehouse-style facilities near major logistics hubs, describing large-scale holding centers designed to speed up deportations. Source: Washington Post Regional summary: KJZZ

Reuters reported the administration is preparing to expand immigration enforcement in 2026 and that a GOP-backed spending package would provide $170 billion in additional funding through September 2029 for ICE and Border Patrol.

This is not simply enforcement; it is industrial scaling.

This is government capacity being built for speed and volume, and systems designed for speed are rarely designed for due process. They are designed to reduce friction and to move bodies: to turn human beings into throughput.

Officials may describe this as “efficiency” or “security,” but Americans should recognize the rhetorical trick. When a government wants to do something the public would reject on moral grounds, it often switches to managerial language. It tries to make the unacceptable sound boring.

Note: Not covered in this article but this will all be privatized.
