I got a DeSantis text asking for donations today. I�ve never given money to any campaign and never lived in FL so I don�t know how this happened. Used to get Bernie texts all the time but after they switched to Pelosi and Biden texts I got pretty rude and they stopped. Did the Dems just go �you were mean so DeSantis can have your phone number?�

i've never replied to a cold call in my life but i ended up on a text list for the TX dems with my dad's phone number, so they'll send him stuff with my name on it. i think the people running these operations are just incompetent morons, op

same guy posted:
In this case, it's vaguely conceivable that Congressional action could act as a keeping-people-alive stopgap - the Senate is absolutely positively not going to pass any actually good immigration reform, even the temporary one of not allowing asylum seekers or detained unauthorized immigrants to be kept in custody, but preventing deaths by hypothermia / lack of medicine / etc, is well within their purview. It would also almost certainly involve giving Donald Trump money for detention facilities and/or for immigration judges, which I suspect is an absolute non-starter for the left despite Trump's coercion, so oh well, concentration camps with an artificially high death toll it is.

The central quirk of our immigrant concentration camps is that the people in them cannot be held after they get a binding immigration ruling, either the good one or the bad one. They're not held indefinitely, which means the pressures are different and less than in the permanent or permanent-ish historical cases. In Vietnam, and the Philippines, and South Africa, and the Japanese internment camps, and the more-or-less best-case colonial-Malaya, they were holding people during a violent insurgency of unknown length; in Nazi Germany et al, the objective was (as it is here) to make the residents Go Away, but deportation proved entirely non-feasible. In both sets, there wasn't an out for "well I guess we'll release them back into the country".

same guy posted:
If you're in a protesting or protest-supporting mood, see if there are any:

- ICE or CBP facilities or offices in your area
- Facilities of any of the companies involved in supporting or supplying the concentration camps (GEO Group and another private prison company whose name I can't recall offhand are a good place to start)

Call your congresspeople even if they're horrible, and if they're horrible that's another protest opportunity.

Signal boost the bad things and good responses to the bad things.

Participate in your local DSA chapter and/or local Dem Party organization and/or any local immigrant support groups.

I'm not 100% sure how I feel about that bot imsofar as if it's poorly curated it's going to cause problems for some customs policy nerds and other positions / bureaus that have nothing at all to do with immigration enforcement, but the support positions for the camps deserve to be shamed

So what's your best estimate on Biden closing the camps? First 90 days? First year?
"they are no longer death camps because biden has shuffled money around, fixed the most egregious medical negligence*, admitted that coronavirus is a thing they should be protected from, and released a lot of people on their own recognizance" seems like a plausible 1-6 months thing (yes i know, bit of a difference there) without the senate, but unless he goes Full Trumpwall, which i do not expect and didn't work very well for Trump, almost-entirely abolishing detentions as a thing might require congressional money reallocation. Or it might not, there is currently some level of cooperation with nonprofits on specifically child immigration stuff, and that's the case where it's thorniest to just put them out into the public and tell them good luck, so maybe he can do that unilaterally too? You'd have to ask someone more plugged in to the process.

Maybe I'll have a more defined answer when we're closer to inauguration. Or post-inauguration, but that might be cheating in your eyes.

* - which was the subject of the vast majority of the complaint/report that gave rise to the hysterectomy investigation, but nobody really cared about discussing that part for various reasons, and i'm part of the problem because i never got around to doing my own summary in the absence of anyone else's

NOVEMBER 25 2020

same guy posted:
it doesn't get clicks, it doesn't get views, it doesn't incite anywhere near as much rage as it should or as hysterectomies, and the substantial portion of the report devoted to "actually we right now today have coronavirus death camps thanks to donald trump letting cbp/ice off the leash and it's killing tons of human beings" isn't conducive to the Angry Twitter Left's anger targets, never mind anyone else giving a poo poo

DECEMBER 12 2020

someone else posted:
a question for logistically-minded people (yes this is basically the xxxxxxx-signal):
whats the actual realistic timeframe for biden to close the camps? As in, how many weeks or months into biden's term until it is warranted to be deeply, deeply alarmed that concentration camps still exist?
I got asked basically this in the waning days of GE thread, but if they're not being very seriously wound down in three months at the absolute latest - so, like, late April - my level of gruntled will start going significantly down. I'd be kinda disappointed in it taking that long tbh. If they're actively going away in a timely fashion, that's clearly Biden doing the thing, just not doing it quickly enough to prevent unnecessary suffering.

someone else posted:
ok but what about the camps
i dunno, what do you think he's going to do about the camps?

both his incoming dhs secretary and he in his campaign have expressed a desire to put Almost Everybody into case management programs supported by nonprofits and/or by simply existing and working in normal American communities, and the immediate first-day immigration steps include reclassifying shitloads of people into "maybe we shouldn't keep them in the trump death camps"

which is why josh hawley is trying to slow down mayorkas' appointment and keep people in the camps as long as possible

FEBRUARY 10 2021

same guy posted:
my understanding is that a big part of it is "we only have so many personnel for thr good immigration things / who aren't Nazis, and the priority is people who are currently here and/or currently in The Camps rather than 'just' in a humanitarian disaster in Mexico"

little concerned that even with the Trump admin deliberately loving up the transition and CBP / ICE career leadership being evil, though, that Team Biden didn't have more NGO etc stuff in place earlier

MARCH 31 2021

same guy posted:
"horrible overcrowded intake camp run by Nazis" and "concentration camp" are not synonyms; as I have argued in the past and will argue in the future, intent matters

concentration camps were historically designed to contain people entirely indefinitely, either for the purpose of removing them from their land or for the purpose of fighting an insurgency, or usually, both

a subset of trump's deportation camps could plausibly be called concentration camps, insofar as he did not particularly give a poo poo about what happened to the residents and the intent was to remove them from the united states

intake camps, no matter how horrific, are not concentration camps in the same way as that, and certainly not in the same way as Japanese-American internment camps or the various colonial "let's force everybody in this region into camps so we can starve the rebels of resources and/or shoot everybody not in the camps"

the use of the term "concentration camps" here is at best an ill-analyzed misnomer

same guy posted:
I should note that I am not saying, MODHAT ON, that calling them concentration camps is illegal. I am saying MODHAT OFF that I disagree with it.
