    Where is this leading to? Camps? Is that really going to happen?

      Yes.

      They already built the camps, and are building more. You didn’t think they were all for “immigrants” did you? ICE has a yearly budget of about 37 billion dollars. There’s no way they would need that much funding if they were only deporting people in the country illegally. This has always been about persecuting minorities.

      First they came for the illegal immigrants.

      Then they came for the trans community.

      They’ve already started canceling anyone speaking out against them and will target their political opponents. We’re well into the Nazi consolidation of power phase of the takeover.

      They already have camps. In plain sight. With tailored procedures. They don’t need to build anything, it’s available as a commercial service.

        A 2018 report from the Indiana Maurer University School of Law, along with a subsequent report in the UCLA Journal of Gender and Law, found that, based on accounts of former inmates, it was common for trans women placed in men’s prisons to be assigned to cells with aggressive cisgender male cellmates to maintain social control and to, as one inmate described it, “keep the violence rate down”. Trans women used in this manner are often raped daily. This process is known as “V-coding”, and has been described as so common that it is effectively “a central part of a trans woman’s sentence”.
