    Here is the important question.

    Why keep all these people?

    Why not just ship them back out asap ?

    Slave labor.
    Trafficking of kids and women.

    SLAVERY.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dachau_concentration_camp

    After the takeover of Bavaria on 9 March 1933, Heinrich Himmler, then Chief of Police in Munich, began to speak with the administration of an unused gunpowder and munitions factory. He toured the site to see if it could be used for quartering protective-custody prisoners.

    Himmler announced in the Münchner Neueste Nachrichten newspaper that the camp could hold up to 5,000 people, and described it as “the first concentration camp for political prisoners” to be used to restore calm to Germany.[18] It became the first regular concentration camp established by the coalition government of the National Socialist German Worker’s Party (Nazi Party) and the German National People’s Party (dissolved on 6 July 1933). Dachau was the concentration camp that was in operation the longest, from March 1933 to April 1945, nearly all twelve years of the Nazi regime.

    History doesn’t repeat itself, but it does rhyme.

      Unfortunately, they have been. There are dozens of these all over the US.

      Edit: oh sorry you specified warehouses. About a dozen of those. When I said dozens I was referring to concentration camps.

    It’s bad enough already, laid out like bunks at Auschwitz or on a slave ship, with little ventilation, and public water and sewage that has already been called inadequate, but this made my blood run cold:

    The floor plan shows only a single path for 8,500 detainees and hundreds of staff to evacuate in an emergency like a fire. While the warehouse has at least 30 more doors that the floor plan does not appear to account for, even those may not be enough for egress.

    Fire. 8,500 people and only one point of egress at this time. And they want to have it open by May.

    But hey, it’s in the admin section so at least some of The Right People™ get out, I guess.
