Tom Homan "US Border Czar" said he would proudly compare his interment camp in Florida "to any US Prison."Prison is where people are sent when convicted of crimes. I do not think that prisons should be, but this notion of comparing a place where ICE "detains" people uncharged, in limbo to a prison as if that were the standard misses the mark. The people in "Alligator Alcatraz" as the conservative have named it, are not convicted of crimes.

Also he's lying. It's worse than a typical US prison and that is very alarming.

@futurebird And US prisons are already terrible. We incarcerate a higher % of our population than anyone else, and we treat them terribly.

@maloki It has bunkbeds in a cage and three metal toilets behind a little wall and they don't feed them enough. It's disgusting.It would be disgusting if you could show me they were all convicted of crimes. But these are just people that got swept up some might even be US citizens, they are targeted based on race and where they work and the language they speak.

@maloki If captured enemy solidiers were being held like that during a war it'd raise questions. These are civilians. They can't even tell you a pretext for any of them being there.

Tom Homan thinks he sounds tough, but in reality he sounds sloppy and totally unconvincing as he stumbles through justifications for the atrocity he is directing.He is working in a position beyond his abilities. And it only makes him more dangerous.

@futurebird Agreed on all of the above. Noted that he has a little law enforcement history, and a lot of border patrol history, but nothing I can see about correctional officer or prison administration history.So it would be like me talking about the stupid things I do to brick my Raspberry Pi and going "I would compare it to enterprise DevOps."Except—you know–with human lives.

@futurebirdHow about letters? (interment/internment)I'd say that's a serious possibility but they're not there yet.

@futurebirdHow about letters? (interment/internment)I'd say that mass interment is a serious possibility, although they're not there yet (and hopefully we'll stop them first).

@randomgeek Tom Homan should consider the consequences for his immortal soul of the work he has chosen. I must be very exciting to be promoted to a position beyond your wildest dreams, but no only is he not up to this work, but there is a reason they had to go all the way down the list and pick him.

@randomgeek It is, however, helpful that he keeps being, well honest about what he's been instructed to do. Eg. that statment about not needing probable cause. That's how they operate. And we're all being tested to see if we will tolerate this outrageous and obvious abuse of the constitution and human rights.On the matter of "immortal souls" I'm worrying that I'm failing.

@futurebird on the immortal soul thing I’m by definition not qualified to judge. But it’s on us to choose doing the best we can in the moment and then figuring out what our best actually is in this moment.
