ICE Aims to Speed Up Deportations by Renovating Warehouses to Hold 80,000 Illegals at a Time

If you get your worldview from the mainstream media, you probably think that Americans are appalled that President Donald Trump is deporting illegal aliens. In reality, those who voted for Trump on the promise of mass deportation don’t think the process is coming along fast enough.
Leftists, who don’t want to see anyone deported, criminal or not,  lost their minds when Gov. Ron DeSantis opened “Alligator Alcatraz,” a deportation holding area that holds around 3,000 illegal immigrants.[snip]

Rather than shuttling detainees around the country to wherever detention space is available, as happens now, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement aims to speed up deportations by establishing a deliberate feeder system, the document says. Newly arrested detainees would be booked into processing sites for a few weeks before being funneled into one of seven large-scale warehouses holding 5,000 to 10,000 people each, where they would be staged for deportation.
The large warehouses would be located close to major logistics hubs in Virginia, Texas, Louisiana, Arizona, Georgia and Missouri. Sixteen smaller warehouses would hold up to 1,500 people each.
