ICE Is Apparently Shopping for Portable Jail Cells Now

Original version ·

Because the status quo of regular detention centers was clearly getting too cozy, the government is looking to take the show on the road.

It turns out that ICE has been busy browsing the government procurement catalogs for some mobile detention facilities. Instead of brick-and-mortar buildings, they want something they can haul around like a terrifying pop-up shop.

The paperwork suggests they are looking to expand capacity in Pennsylvania, but apparently, they want that expansion to be modular and ready to roll at a moment's notice. It is a bold leap from standard bureaucracy to portable incarceration units.

Efficiency is being redefined as having a jail that can be towed behind a truck.

    Can we just talk about how absurd this is? We are basically turning law enforcement into a roadshow now. This is genuinely dystopian stuff, even for them.
