Have they ever explained why they need so many holding facilities if they're deporting people?
Questions Germans should have been asking in the 30s.....and we all know why they needed such big facilities.
Labor. They wouldn't ever say that directly.
The biggest and most inhumane grift, ever.
As if they don’t work for cheap enough already
Their official goal is to round up 3000 people per day - which is why they're going after anyone they can, because "the worst of the worst" have all slipped through their fingers for years and are hard to find so they have to make up those numbers somewhere.
But - they don't have the capacity to process 3000 people per day and, even if they could, no country is going to accept that many people in a lump, even they are citizens of that country. This was always going to end up with massive amounts of people warehoused somewhere.
Of course, with the need to constantly and massively expand detention facilities (the goal is an extra 3000 people every day!), those detention facilities are going to be hastily built, under-staffed, and under-resourced: not enough beds, blankets, food, clothing, sanitation facilities, medical support, etc. Which is exactly how the Nazis ended up with the conditions in their concentration camps - remember, the camps in Germany were labor camps with extremely poor conditions.
The next step will be companies who can't hire enough minimum wage people or who want to skip health and safety laws, to hire workers from the camps. This government will accept, because they'll get kickbacks from the companies and an official-if-cheap wage "paid" to the government to help offset the costs of the camps.
The inmates will be housed in poor conditions: minimal shelter (don't expect air conditioning or even heating), thin mattresses (if any), thin blankets, minimally nutritional food, no medicine and minimal medical support - pretty much WWII concentration camp conditions. With 3000 people per day, it can't be any different.
And then the inevitable diseases will rip through the camps, and a bunch of people will die, and the rest will be weaker - no medical care, and minimal food and shelter. But there'll be another 3000 and another, so the losses won't be entirely noticable - except in an ever-expanding graveyard. Instead of going to all the trouble of digging and then filling in graves, wouldn't it be easier just to burn the corpses? It would certainly limit accountability for the losses!
Oh - but what should we do with those who can't work - the young, the old, the disabled or infirm ....
Imagine being a 75-year-old Amazon camp survivor and getting snark from 15-year old edgelords arguing that there were "only 1488" total deaths and the CECOT footage was faked with AI by the "Hispanic drug cartels that run the world"...
You could build some kind of ramp where those who cannot work are selected.
They pick them up by ones and fly them out by the dozen. They get held in these facilities in between.
They also have to find countries that will accept payoffs for illegal deportations. That takes extra time compared to regular, lawful procedure.
