The Trump administration is funneling $10 billion from the Department of Homeland Security through the U.S. Navy to ramp up its construction of migrant detention centers across the country, according to a report.
Construction on the facilities, which could hold up to 10,000 migrants each, could begin as soon as next month, sources close to the project told CNN.
The DHS is leaning on the Navy to hire companies for the construction and maintenance of the detention facilities, which will reportedly be spread across Georgia, Indiana, Kansas, Louisiana, and Pennsylvania.
The construction plans are the latest example of how the Trump administration is wielding the power of the U.S. military to carry out its anti-immigration agenda.

Instead of taking that $10 billion and building hospitals and clinics in rural areas and urban areas (where vulture capitalists sucked the life out of a number of hospital systems and then closed them), they are wasting money on concentration camps.
No, it's the latest example of his obscene Waste. Fraud. Abuse.
