My question is, are they actually deporting people efficiently? Because if they are accumulating people in these facilities, it could become dangerous. They have been dehumanizing them for months.

If there are constraints for food supplies, staff are not going to risk their jobs to keep prisoners fed.

There needs to be a law for video audits every X weeks. Or there is a real risk of starvation in some places. Some of them are for profit and the intense racial hatred is no joke.

They want to build more camps... You can conclude from that they don't really have a plan for releasing these people from custody. Remember their first idea was to shove all these folks in CECOT, which has released maybe single digit numbers of prisoners since it was opened.

They need to be abolished, not reformed.

Yes but it seems more feasible to try to avoid people starving in there in the medium term. Abolishing them is a good goal to pursue in addition. It's just more difficult.

Fair analysis. But we should lose sight of the goal to end this horror.

Kind of like "end slavery" vs "make living conditions for slaves better".

Then what would be your solution to detainees pending removal?

Don't "detain" (kidnap) and "remove" (mass deport) them?

I don't like the whole system of masked guys without badgets picking up kids from the street and putting them in camps to be deported. Do you get my sentiment?

Especially since the country doing it has no, literally no moral reason to claim the land. USA is a settler colonialist project.

They even tried deporting native americans! This whole shit has to stop.

First of all, the answer is "no, they're absolutely not".

However, the reason for that is that they don't want to. They want to torture these people for the sin of being brown in America.

Second of all, it absolutely does not matter whether they are efficiently carrying out their fascist work. The official, stated purpose of ICE, as it currently stands, is cruel, unnecessary, and almost certainly in violation of international law.
