For-profit immigrant family detention center planned in Texas

Included in the official US response to the “humanitarian crisis” of unaccompanied children fleeing violence and poverty in Honduras, Guatemala, and El Salvador, is the proposal to create a new for-profit family detention center for jailing the children and their families in Texas. The center, along with other planned detention facilities, is meant to hold the refugees as the Obama administration prepares to fast track their deportations.

According to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforce (ICE), the agency is working to “finalize contracts with construction and service providers.” In typical fashion, the agency has refused to release much information as to when the facility will open or how much it will cost.

The sight of Mine Resistant Ambush Protected vehicles (MRAP) and police officers decked out in fully militarized weaponry rolling down the streets of Ferguson, Missouri shocked the world.

The recent events in Ferguson underscore the extent to which the police in the United States are now becoming fully militarized. To this effect, militarization has reached the public school system, as the San Diego Unified School District acquired their own MRAP in April.
