The U.S. military is providing facilities at Buckley Space Force Base in Colorado for Immigration and Customs Enforcement to process detained migrants. That's according to a spokesperson for the U.S. Northern Command, who told CBS News the request came from the Department of Homeland Security.

No military personnel will be involved in the ICE operations, according to a statement provided by the U.S. Northern Command.

In regards to Buckley Space Force Base, USNORTHCOM released the following statement:

At the request of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), USNORTHCOM is providing facilities at Buckley Space Force Base beginning on January 27, 2025, to enable U.S Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to stage and process criminal aliens within the U.S. for an operation taking place in Colorado. Military personnel are not involved in this operation.

ICE requirements for the facility include a temporary operations center, staging area, and a temporary holding location for the receiving, holding, and processing of illegal aliens. This facility will be manned by ICE senior leaders, special agents, and analysts, as well as members of DHS Components and other federal law enforcement agencies.

On Tuesday CBS News confirmed that the Denver metro area will be the next target for stepped-up arrests ICE has been conducting since the start of the Trump administration.

Honestly I would rather have the military doing the work than ICE. At least the military generally follows the law (generally, except for stuff like My Lai and Abu Ghraib). The rank-and-file didn't join to be Gestapo like ICE agents do.

Already working on the "Clean Wehrmacht" myth, huh?

No, I get what they're saying. A lot of the veterans I know think that cops are totally out of control. The military is, relatively speaking, a little less likely to be as horrible as possible about this. It still shouldn't be happening.

Sure, that seems to be true at the moment. But the military won't be the same in the (near) future, as purging the military is just another point in their Project2025. It's authoritarian 101.

Yeah, I know. Honest question, and don't doxx yourself, are you doing anything about it? I'm trying to build resilience in my community by organizing locally.
