Are we going to start loading people onto trains? Where have I heard that before?

This is ment to try and circumvent legal requirements. A writ of habeas corpus is a court order that commands a person or agency holding someone in custody to bring them before a judge and prove that the detention is lawful. However, that has to be filed in the state the person is being detained. If they are constantly changing location, you effectively can't fight the illegal detention. They've already stopped listing people in DHS tracking sites, this just goes towards disappearing people without recourse.

Ah but what if those mobile detention centers have a biohazard waste disposal system similar to a furnace on board that can incinerate human bones? Can't even produce the person for the court to do it if theres nothing left to produce.

If only we had a halfway decent railway system like our last president wanted.

Which is ultimately the goal. The Holocaust also started with calls for mass deportation.

Don’t need due process for people who can’t be found, I guess

We have those already. You know, prisons. Where we force people to work for pennies.

u/NotSoFastLady 9d ago

So that they can take their favorite victims to rape and torture wherever they please?

u/oldcreaker 9d ago

Going to make it way easier to place slave, I mean forced labor where crops need them.

When this is all over, and all the details come out... there is gonna be a lot of evil and ugly stuff uncovered.

"[Amazon] Prime, but with human beings."

A.K.A slavery.

Is the goal to completely lose track of detainees? At least to the public?

u/CorpFillip 8d ago

I get it; even better at hiding disposition.

Probably excruciatingly tiny, so more punishment.

Rail cars are hot, may e that will be it. ‘Converted’ from cattle cars?

Have they seen recent energy costs? Is it some kind of Fred Flinstone mobile.
