The U.S. military is providing facilities at Buckley Space Force Base in Colorado for Immigration and Customs Enforcement to process detained migrants. That’s according to a spokesperson for the U.S. Northern Command, who told CBS News the request came from the Department of Homeland Security.
No military personnel will be involved in the ICE operations, according to a statement provided by the U.S. Northern Command.
In regards to Buckley Space Force Base, USNORTHCOM released the following statement:
At the request of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), USNORTHCOM is providing facilities at Buckley Space Force Base beginning on January 27, 2025, to enable U.S Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to stage and process criminal aliens within the U.S. for an operation taking place in Colorado. Military personnel are not involved in this operation.
ICE requirements for the facility include a temporary operations center, staging area, and a temporary holding location for the receiving, holding, and processing of illegal aliens. This facility will be manned by ICE senior leaders, special agents, and analysts, as well as members of DHS Components and other federal law enforcement agencies.
On Tuesday CBS News confirmed that the Denver metro area will be the next target for stepped-up arrests ICE has been conducting since the start of the Trump administration.
…and so the first concentration camp was opened.
But I am sure people will continue to say that won’t happen even as they are put in there like cattle.
And I’m sure people will continue to tell people not to rise up against their insane leaders and do bad things to them because violence isn’t the answer, meanwhile people will be dying in these places but that’s apparently okay as long as we all stay nice and civil. We need reform! Policy changes! Polite conversation! Nonviolent demonstrations! All the things they will most certainly not ignore completely! Heck, let’s not shop for a day! Except of course if we really need to or they have a sale.
Well they sure aren’t going to be able to vote their way out of a concentration camp.
But shouldn’t we obey the rules? The laws? The ToS? Or… should we not?
They’re not. Either the law means something or it doesn’t.
So would you say the people who censor civil disobedience and calls to action are part of the problem, not the solution?
All good points.
Someone who also boycotts stores: People in camps.
Let’s all quit our jobs and live on the street in protest, instead of rising up and holding people accountable. Civil disobedience is far more effective than implementing a guillotine solution. Expressing our feelings is sure to change the minds of magalomaniacs. ;)
