The Trump administration has largely turned to the for-profit, private prison industry to reopen or repurpose shuttered and aging facilities — many of which have been previously criticized for poor conditions and inadequate care.

Thanks for posting.
I'm studying this subject in detail now because I realize now how core this model is to the destruction of this country. (It's certainly a core issue destroying unity on this forum.) Or at least it stinks enough to require a thorough investigation. I actually already know quite a bit about the problem in general (Honduran coyote trains, NGOs) because I had a falling out with my previous church (they kicked me out) when I discovered they were secretly helping smuggle Cubans through the mission work, and I exposed it. I did some in-depth research at that time, circa 2022.
But now they are making big moves to do the exact opposite (via appearances). In other words, "problem, reaction, solution." It was ultimately our tax dollars flowing through the fake Christian churches that created the problem; now we have the "solution" part. Anyway...
The math is not math-ing.
First, Trump isn't even arresting at peak Obama levels. The first 100 days is looking to be around 650/day. Illegal immigration (which includes 'unauthorized immigrants' the way I calculated—people who overstay, for instance) is conservatively 1,000,000 per year or 2,739 per day. Even if Trump manages to break Obama's daily rate of around 900/day and cuts illegal immigration in half, it's still not going to make a dent in the problem (if we frame 'success' as the body count deported). The best-case scenario for the rest of Trump's term is not even break-even.
Like I said, I don't really even think Trump is prescient enough to think in these terms (e.g., "I need these numbers up!"), but I might be wrong. But practically speaking, the actions so far and the budget allocations indicate due process is not a priority. He has no intention of filtering the worst. How do I know? Well, first of all, that would require investigations and court cases. They aren't going to do that, as evidenced by reallocating a significant number of investigators and by putting barely any money towards an increase to the ICE court component (only up by 30% vs. 360% for detention, see OP).
"Yes he is, liar! He's doing background checks to find criminal records and charges!"
Well, sure, they are finding anyone with even a 'smidge' of a run-in with the law. See the first tweet below. Scanning 1.3 million names (with their fancy NSA crap), they only got 6,400 hits (0.004%), which includes people with speeding tickets or people where charges were dropped, according to the tweet. Now, let's extrapolate the scan to ALL the immigrants, both legal and illegal. Even if we say it's 100 million, and the "criminal" (a loosely applied word for the Trump ZOG admin), this total figure only comes to 500,000.
Now let's break down the ICE capacity to deport (we'll ignore due process friction since Trump is).
According to Grok, ICE has a detention capacity of about 41K beds but has been operating above that capacity with approx. 48K bed capacity. Let's assume this roughly translates to a 900/day deportation once Trump gets his staff motivated.
The Big Beautiful Bill is trying to increase the capacity to 100,000 (all that 360% increase can't go towards facilities. Gotta hire more jack-booted thugs too). If we assume the same 115% utilization, the math works out to a daily deportation capacity of 2,156/day (48K is to 900/day, as 115K is to 2,156/day).
Now that reality would be on Oct 1st, 2025, the beginning of the fiscal year. So if we assume that Big Beautiful Deportation Rate for the remainder of Trump's term, we get a deportation total in excess of current capacity around 1,527,296 (3.333 years times 2156/day minus normal 900/day = 1216 days times 1256/day excess).
But as we calculated above, this is one million people beyond the number of Pedro's and Ali-Babba's with speeding tickets and debt collection cases that were dropped.
"We need more criminals to get these numbers up! These are rookie numbers!"
Hence, the need for jacking up all the fees for renewals and "papers please" check-ins. Also a need to dehumanize immigrants and have an apartheid state where they can't speak or use social media like a regular American, especially if they are critical of America's "allies" or "interests."
So what do we get from Trump's immigration strategy:
NAZI POSITIVE:
We slightly decrease the rate of increase of dark faces outnumbering white faces for the 3.33 years remaining in Trump's term after the start of the next fiscal year. It's not conquering the French, but it's something.
LIBERTY NEGATIVE:
- Concentration camps.
- Erosion of due process.
- Erosion of freedom of speech.
- More thugs with guns breaking into people's homes.
- A shrinking economy that just deported a million working people and replaced them with a bunch of DHS bureaucrats and private prison contracts.
- A political disaster that will only exacerbate tribalism and make the takeover of this country easier.
- A less safe America since law enforcement is being largely repurposed for deportation enforcement without due process.
I think #6 is the real intended effect.
