Beltway Area Indymedia

Although the psychotic warlord George Bush is losing his grip, the fascist atmosphere has become even more ominous. ICE has been building massive detention centers for the victims of their raids-reminding many of camps the Nazis built for THEIR enemies!

These giant facilites are located in rural areas, deliberately out-of-reach to most legal counsel, and abuse and torture are reported by immigrants to be growing rapidly.

There have been a number of recent deaths caused by abusive conditions on top of all else. Conditions are becoming more and more like concentration camps with every passing day.

All the anti-immigrant laws being passed in places like Prince William County are similar to the first anti-Jewish laws the Nazis passed around 1935. When this is combined with the construction of giant detention facilites where people are sent without trial, the result is a very, very threatening situation in the eyes of many.

The current "immigrant removal" witch-hunt is not only in the tradition of Naziism but also is a continuation of the 500 years long "Indian Removal" efforts of ruling class whited in the US.

As imperialism destroys economies and people of mostly Indigenous descent move north, racists like the MinuteKlan suddenly scream "oh no-the Indians are back!" This being so, then howl for the same
measurte used before.

Previous removals like the Trail of Tears were in the same spirit as today-and also were the inspiration for many of Hitler's horrors as well.
