Dark to light: Are arrests on the horizon? I saw this article come up on my Twitter feed and had to click on it due to the title:  https://www.politico.com/newsletters/playbook/2019/01/07/is-this-the-dark-before-the-light-371203 While it is just a summary of what is going on with regards to the shutdown, there was one thing that caught my eye. They posted a PDF of a letter from the director of the Office of Management and Budget for the White House to Chairwoman of the House Committee on Appropriation: https://www.politico.com/f/?id=00000168-27c7-db11-ab7d-37ff66ea0000 In this letter it talks about what funding they are looking for, and one thing stuck out to me: Detention Beds, ICE: The President requests $4.2 billion to support 52,000 detention beds.  Now this may be a stretch, but what if this is what everything is really about? I have been thinking that all the attention being focused on the border wall is a bit strange, and these seem like contradictory requests if you ask me. If you build a border wall to keep people out then why do you need so many more detention beds? Wouldn’t you need fewer?  What if this is not really about the wall at all. The number of sealed proceedings/indictments is currently hovering around 70,000. Where are all these people going to go after they are arrested/indicted? The prison system probably does not have the capacity, and locking them up in Gitmo would raise a lot of alarms/red flags from the public before people really understand what is going on. What if the plan all along has been to use ICE detention facilities to hold these people before their trials? It makes a lot of sense when you consider how the deep state and MSM has spent the last year attacking ICE constantly and calling for it to be abolished, defunded, shut down, etc. Curious to hear other thoughts.
