DHS Plan :: Detain Immigrants at U.S. Military Bases

DHS Memo Lays Out Plans To Detain Migrants At Fort Bliss And Other U.S. Bases
NPR by Joel Rose, Tom Bowman 2.24.25

The Trump administration is developing plans to build immigration detention facilities on U.S. military bases around the country, according to an internal memo obtained by NPR.

The Department of Homeland Security is asking the Department of Defense for help detaining immigrants without legal status, according to the DHS memo, a step that could significantly expand the military's role in immigration enforcement.

Fort Bliss would initially detain up to 1,000 immigrants during a 60-day evaluation period, the memo states, and could eventually hold as many as 10,000 immigrants while serving as a "central hub for deportation operations."

Fort Bliss could then serve as the model for as many as 10 other holding facilities on military bases nationwide, including:

PublicSquare :: Avoiding MAGA-Friendly Businesses

Website For MAGA-Friendly Businesses Backfires As People Use It For Boycotts
Social media posts about PublicSquare have gone viral as Trump critics use it to find companies not to support – the opposite of what the site was set up for.
Huff Post: By Jennifer Bendery Apr 26, 2025, 06:00 AM EDT



AVOIDING MAGA-FRIENDLY BUSINESSES:
Trump supporters have set up a website called PublicSquare, which lists businesses that have voluntarily certified themselves as “anti woke.” It’s built to encourage customers to patronize these folks, but we can use it to decide where not to go. Let’s check it out and find MAGA-friendly stores to flag near us here. Rogan's List


Meet PublicSq., the ‘anti-woke’ marketplace backed by Donald Trump Jr.
The 'Pro-American’ digital marketplace has had a surge of interest as brands like Target and Bud Light have faced boycotts and backlash

The platform has swelled to host more than 55,000 small businesses since it launched on July 4, 2022 — with major growth coming in recent months as consumers reacted to Bud Light’s partnership with transgender comedian and activist Dylan Mulvaney and Target’s Pride merchandise.

PublicSq. recently went public, aiming to catapult its “pro-American marketplace” onto the main stage. The company began trading on the New York Stock Exchange on July 20, under the ticker PSQH. CEO Michael Seifert rang the opening bell at the NYSE to the tune of loud chants of “U-S-A” from the floor.
