July 25 (Reuters) - The Trump administration has brought some 1,700 military personnel under the command of state governors to help with the administration's immigration law enforcement mission, the Pentagon said on Friday.

Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell said the service status of 1,200 personnel, who were already assisting with the mission, was changed to Title 32 from Title 10 and an additional 500 personnel were authorized to help with the immigration effort.

"Through active planning and collaboration with our ICE partners, the Department determined that specific operational needs may require direct interaction with individuals in ICE custody," leading to this reevaluation of military personnel duty status, Parnell said in a statement.

1. Immigration is under federal jurisdiction

why would the feds turn the military over to the states?

2. Because the (red) states are building and "running" the detention facilities (with federal funding) ?

So military can be seconded to states to serve as prison guards?

I dunno, but that's what it sounds like to me. Why they'd be doing it like this is beyond me, but may become clear when the "states" start putting the detainees to work on farms and construction sites. Spreading the wealth along with the shit.

3. I think New Jersey is getting one too

At the Joint Base of Ft Dix, Maguire Air-force base and Lakehurst Naval Air station. There has been a federal prison camp at Ft Dix for decades now, as its army function is mostly gone beyond maybe the NJ National Guard.

5. And when it all goes to crap in the states,

trump and his administration have plausible deniability. Blame it on the state folks... keep trumps hands clean. grrrrr

At some point in the near future, if we don't stop this regime and kick them out of all political/legal offices we're going to rival Russia at it's worst in terms of gulags the numbers of people held there. Already, we have more people incarcerated (at least, that's the last I read some time ago) than Russia was holding in their prisons. If we allow them to continue to build these multiple-thousand bed concentration camps, they will start expressing reasons for incarcerating those of us who are non-magats. After all, this is a profit making endeavor. (and I am SO against that aspect of any prison, half-way house, public service connected institution, etc.).
