The Ugly Conservative Strikes Again
The Deportation Police being created by Trumpie need a place
to put people they are warehousing for the purpose of expulsion. Prison won’t work because you need to be
convicted to be put in a regular prison.
So the feds will use local jails, which they now want to make as
miserable as possible. Look
at what they want to do.
According to two Homeland Security
officials who had knowledge of the plans but declined to be identified because
they were not authorized to speak publicly, new jail contracts will contain a
far less detailed set of regulations.
They will
make no mention of the need for translation services, for example. A current
rule that detainees’ requests for medical care be evaluated by a professional
within 24 hours will be replaced by a requirement that the jails merely have
procedures on providing medical care.
The new contracts will require that
the jails maintain policies for suicide prevention, solitary confinement and
other concerns, but will not specify what those policies should contain.
The changes, which will coincide with the closing of an office that
develops regulations, will essentially hold these jails to the same standards
they must follow for criminal inmates. That is a break from a long-held
philosophy that people held on immigration violations, who are considered by
law to be “civil” detainees, should be treated differently, and is in line with
the president’s belief that the government should be tougher on the
unauthorized.
Remember, despite recent statements Trumpie admires
Putin. And now he wants to create jails
that are just like those in a Russian gulag.
And if this means jailing women and children and sick people and people
who cannot speak English, well to Trumpie that’s just all the better.
