In reply to the discussion: Trump official caught OKing family separation plan she said didn't exist [View all]Hortensis
(58,785 posts)took office, but leaks that this was being discussed started very shortly after and were reported in written media. Of course that was then immediately swept away by the 24/7 tsunami of new stories that has come to seem normal. Even WWIII would be old news by the end of a week.
In any case, I saw and posted it here in early 2017 but then didn't notice it again until they started separating families and it hit the front page so to speak. But it was out there.
Several months ago we got warning that detention camps that could ultimately hold up to a couple hundred thousand were being planned for a naval base in Texas, some followup coverage about the Navy's unwillingness to be involved in running or paying for that, but then mention of that mostly disappeared. At least I found nothing when I did a quick look a month or so ago.
But there have been lots of other stories of other facilities in various states. There's a "detention alley" in Texas, I think that's what that area's called now, because of all the new facilities that keep being added. Of necessity to hold the people they've grabbed, including likely many of those "legal until declared illegal" residents we've been hearing about.
Haven't looked for a while, though. Once again I along with most everyone else will be "surprised" into awareness when atrocities finally appear on TV and cable news.
