Hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars are being poured into hiring stormtroopers who report only to Trump, so they can fill concentration camps with people arrested without due process.

The cost for acquiring two warehouses alone was $172 million. A third in El Paso, Texas, could be among the largest jails of any kind in the country if completed as envisioned, with 8,500 beds. The deals mark the latest turn in [Trump’s] plan to use as many as 23 warehouses for detaining thousands….

The latest numbers suggest nearly a billion dollars will be burned in 2026 for Trump to politically target and occupy urban areas with his troops, to detain hundreds of thousands of innocent voters in these camps.

Journalists also now face federal retaliation for any reporting, even without charges. In one high profile case a journalist was detained despite it being a direct violation of a judge who refused to allow it.

Lemon, now an independent journalist, was taken into custody by federal agents on Thursday night while in Los Angeles covering the Grammy Awards, according to his lawyer Abbe Lowell. …a magistrate judge who reviewed the evidence… [excluded] Lemon. The government challenged that decision, but an appeals court suggested prosecutors take the case to a federal grand jury – a panel of citizens that evaluates if there is enough evidence to charge someone in a case.

The Trump social media account grotesquely celebrated this by posting shackle/chain emojis next to the Black journalist’s name.

Concentration camps growing, detaining and censoring the press, pushing memes about shackling innocent Black men with chains. That’s Trump.
