Who are all these detention/concentration camps for?
ICE has now spent over half a BILLION dollars just on purchasing warehouses around the country to convert into detention camps.
If these mega-camps are utilized to the full capacity ICE intends, they'll be the largest prisons in the country, with little real oversight. www.ajc.com/politics/202...

Having watched about half of BBC's "Reform:Ready to rule" and so far it can only be described as a Reform party broadcast. Very weak questions from Kuenssberg and no follow up.
Farage is so into MAGA parlance, he is copying Trump’s favourite bogeyman antifa which is not recognised as a group in UK
