Dear America (esp. the media)
The correct grammar is *DEMOCRATIC* Party
Shortening Democratic Party/Candidate/Senator/etc to "Democrat Party," etc is a McCarthy Era slur to "emphasize the rat in Democrat"
It's being used by the right as a means to demonize & insult Democrats
NEVER normalize it

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...

If ICE gets even one of these facilities fully up and running, it’ll immediately be the second-largest jail in the country behind only Rikers Island.
The proposed centers are so large that some could house as many as 8,000 detainees at once, according to a DHS spreadsheet of more than 20 potential locations that was verified by NBC News. The largest federal prison in the U.S., for example, has roughly 4,000 inmates.
ICE plans to build mega warehouses for immigration detention spark growing concern
Sources at two government contractors told NBC News they were worried that new warehouses — and the large numbers of immigrants who would be housed in them — would present safety problems.
