Honest question: What is the plan for all these "illegals" once they're rounded up and sent to "Alligator Alcatraz" or whatever detention facility? Are they just gonna be held indefinitely? Is there gonna be some sort of court proceeding to determine their "legality"?

This seems like the most likely thing to me, in no small part that it’s already why American prisons exist in the first place.
Plan?
no, they're (illegally) using a private intake system to bypass the courts.
And I think their argument is that the detainees (the "illegal aliens") are not US citizens (according to them), therefore US laws and courts are not applicable.
