Federal immigration authorities are working to expand immigrant detention capacity in New Jersey ahead of mass deportations President-elect Donald Trump has said he will order, new records reveal.

The American Civil Liberties Union discovered the expansion plans after suing in September to obtain records on contract solicitations Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials issued in June to secure additional detention space around the country.

      It’s amazing how easily it happens. This is 2024 and we have news coverage of it and people aren’t going wild. That explains a lot about how hitler could do whatever he wanted so fast.

        There’s an amazing film made by a man named Kevin Brownlow when he was just a teenager. He made it on weekends over years. It’s called It Happened Here. Besides being a really amazing piece of cinema, it gives a believable view of what it would have been like if the Nazis had won WWII and taken over Britain. Everyone just gets on with their lives and acts like nothing has changed.

        That movie just keeps rattling around in my head and has been since the election.
