Trump’s Asylum 'Re-screening' Aims to Detain Legal Migrants Indefinitely for Profit

Feb 24, 2026 | When Donald Trump returned to office, he pledged the largest immigration crackdown in U.S. history. While public debate centered on mass deportations, a quieter — and potentially more consequential — transformation has taken shape: the rapid expansion of immigrant detention capacity inside the United States.

New 2025 data shows that 77% of people newly placed into deportation proceedings had no criminal conviction. At the same time, ICE is consolidating more than 200 detention sites into 34 massive facilities — including proposed “mega-centers” capable of holding up to 10,000 people each. Planned sites span Georgia, Maryland, Texas, and Arizona, with total capacity projected to approach 100,000 beds.

A controversial Department of Homeland Security memo now directs mandatory “re-vetting” of refugees at the one-year mark, allowing detention during inspection with no defined time limit. Critics argue this creates the risk of prolonged — even indefinite — confinement for people lawfully admitted to the United States.

Federal judges have rebuked elements of the policy, citing constitutional concerns and unlawful detention practices.

Meanwhile, fatal encounters involving federal immigration officers and a wave of collapsed federal prosecutions have intensified scrutiny. Supporters call the overhaul modernization and a restoration of order. Opponents see the construction of a permanent detention infrastructure that could outlast any single administration.

Kristi Noem is a very, very wicked woman. I’m sure that a special place in Hell is being prepared for her even as I write this. In fact, all of the MAGA bros that take part in this cruelty are wicked. As are the superrich tech bros who finance it. They are no better. No better at all. Terrorists all! So they will all deserve their special place in Hell. And the king of Evil and Wickedness, Donald Trump, must really fear for his future. It’s going to be sizzling hot for him for allowing all this wickedness to take place on his watch, and for directing it. By the way, those dreadful people are indeed Trump’s Gestapo. Make no mistake about it. They are no better than Hitler’s Gestapo.

To Hell with MAGA, to Hell with Trump’s Gestapo, and to Hell with Trump’s America! They ALL deserve to PERISH. The world will be a better place when they do. — © Mark Alexander
