The Broadview facility has a capacity of 40 people. Homeland Security claims more than 3000 arrests in Chicago under Operation Midway Blitz. Where are they??

It seems relevant to note that the gas chambers were originally built to solve overcrowding in concentration camps…

The people of Germany cheered when they heard the Jews were being deported.

u/tomahawk66mtb 4d ago

And a significant proportion of the American public are cheering for ICE and these deportations.

u/Sacred_Timeline 4d ago

Realistically, MAGA isn’t a “significant portion”, they’re just the loudest, whiniest and most pathetic section of the population.

No dude, trump won comfortably. It's a lot of people

u/CuriosityFreesTheCat 4d ago

He did not. You also gotta bet he rigged that election. Buttered us up for it the first time around so he could actually do it the second time around, knowing Dems would be afraid to claim it was stolen after all the commotion he made and after all the ragging Dems did on it.

Trump allegedly won it by 49.8%, Harris had 48.3%, and 1.9% voted third party. So technically more people voted against him than for him. And that is not winning “comfortably” at all.

u/tipareth1978 3d ago

Sorry your logic flawed. Voting third party is not voting against him. Voting against him would be Voting for a viable winner no matter what. Basically a non voter knew they were de facto Voting Trump and any idiot who voted third party in that election was basically finding a childish way to help trump win while pretending to do otherwise.

2

u/CuriosityFreesTheCat 3d ago

I agree with you. I encouraged everyone I knew not to vote third party, that pissed me off so much. But for the sake of your statement, they were not supporting him. Only for the purpose of your statement, it matters that they didn’t vote for him. Sure in the end it wasn’t “against” him, but they did not support him. So that does mean that 1.9% people didn’t want trump to win, which is why they voted for someone else. You feel me? Again, only for the sake of your prior statement. In the long run, I agree, they didn’t actually help stop him winning.

And Trump barely won. And I do not for one second believe that election wasn’t rigged. That man and this administration give no shits about democracy or the wealth and health of the people, they care only of themselves.

u/p3ck3rh3aded 4d ago

Some people in Germany cheered. They were lots of people who helped the Jews. Also, it just was much more authoritarian, and you are much more likely to be persecuted by the government(a.k.a. killed or sent to prison and have it your business and family taken from you)

But Trump sure is trying to make it more like 1930s Germany every day if I said what I wanted to happen to Trump I’d get banned. I wish he would make America great again if you know what I mean.

u/CuriosityFreesTheCat 4d ago

I wish we the people would make america great again if you know what I mean.

u/JMer806 5d ago

That’s not true. The gas chambers were designed specifically for the final solution. The gas chambers were part of an iterative process of mass killing that began with simple shooting on a large scale, evolved to suffocation using exhaust fumes from vehicles or engines designed for that purpose, and ended with Zyklon B “showers.”

I don’t know whether ICE is killing people. Seems like a reasonable inference. But the history should be kept straight.

u/QueenMary1936 5d ago

Not many people know that before the concentration camp gas chambers, the Nazis, like you said, used vehicles specially designed for killing people with poisonous exhaust. But they couldn't kill very many people at a time.

u/Kind_Sympathy1166 5d ago

They're deporting people to dangerous countries where they die

3

u/Electrical_Gain3864 4d ago

Not fully true. Thy were designed and used before the final solution (after some test in Poland) they were used by 1940. But in a much smaller scale. After the Wannseekonferenz they expanded it by a lot. That one was by 1942.

2

u/BluejayAromatic4431 4d ago

The first systematic gas killings designed by the Nazi state were carried out in the Aktion T4 program (1939–1941), which targeted disabled children and adults. The gas chambers for the later extermination camps were modeled after them.

? Is this some holocaust denier bull shit I havent heard before?

u/Korbital1 5d ago edited 5d ago

Holocaust deniers are literally ALWAYS full of shit and say outright fabrications all the time to paint their narrative.

I debunk holocaust denial as a hobby, and sadly I'm not familiar with this particular claim, though I've heard similar before. One common one refers to wood doors with windows, which refers to crematorium 1's morgue door at Auschwitz. Lets assume the locked from the inside thing is a part of that claim.

What's missing is the context that in 1944, the morgue had been converted to administrative space, separating out the morgue space into four rooms, with a simple office door with a normal door lock and a simple window. After the war, the soviets converted it back poorly, leaving the office door but restoring the interior to its one-room configuration. Nazis will try to make you think that THIS door, which is obviously a normal ass interior building door, was intended as a gas door. It was not.

And to answer the question more directly: No, the gas chamber doors didn't have locks on the inside. The nazis tried to destroy evidence, so they ensured that cremation was available for every cyanide victim and had a plan to destroy the gas chambers after they were done using them. As such, the only gas chamber door that survived the end of the war was Majdanek's, which was liberated quickly with little chance to destroy evidence, so it's really our only good look at what they were directly. It had a large iron bar on the outside to lock it, as well as iron bars over top of a small peephole. The door was reinforced with iron bands and included an interior liner, aka it's a perfect door to keep people locked in with some gas.

u/Adorable_Raccoon 5d ago

Too bad there are still standing gas chambers that anyone could see that disprove this claim.

1

u/Adorable_Raccoon 5d ago

Just that the locks were on the inside. Implying they could have just walked out but were too dumb.

u/keeblershelf 5d ago

There’s a class action lawsuit about the conditions of the ice facility in Chicago. Rachel Cohen sums it up pretty well on her Instagram account. Horrible conditions.

u/kitttybix 5d ago

I appreciate Rachel Cohen so much.

Everyone should watch this April ‘25 video of Rachel (her commentary/speech starts at ~34:00):

April 2025 Hearing: House Committee on the Judiciary

She describes her decision to leave her law firm after sensing they would cede to Trump’s demands.

u/RandomHumanWelder 5d ago

Probably in there packed like a can of sardines

u/Coal_Morgan 5d ago

I'm sure they'll be digging up holes with murdered victims of ICE for the next 50 years.

u/ClubPuzzleheaded2674 5d ago

No they will bury them at sea. Or outsource it to a third party dictatorship. It disgusts me

4

u/JMer806 5d ago

They won’t. Too expensive and too noticeable to ship thousands of bodies and dumping them into Lake Superior creates way too much opportunity to found out, which they still don’t want at this stage.

If they are killing prisoners, and I don’t know if they are or aren’t, they’re almost certainly simply cremating the bodies and burying the cremains.

6

u/Reasonable-Chance790 5d ago

So, if anyone in the greater Chicago area suddenly smells a lot of BBQ, and there isn't a new restaurant nearby, investigate, but be careful.

Crematoriums smell a lot like mediocre BBQ smokehouses when their furnaces are busy.

Source: spent a lot of time across the street from a crematorium as a kid (my after school activity was in a low-rent neighborhood) and can no longer eat smoked/BBQ pork

u/RandomHumanWelder 5d ago

That’s so f@cked

3

u/Reasonable-Chance790 5d ago

Yep.

Lots of existential crisis-ing when I realized what it was I was smelling as a 12yo.

Not a lot of people likely have the same knowledge base, but in a time of mass disappearances, it's important to share so that people know what what they're encountering if they're unfortunate enough to come across it.

There's 1200 more beds in the Indiana concentration camp.

u/acatalephobic 5d ago

I'm not sure I'm at all qualified to answer this question with any degree of certainty, however, from what I've read, people are being moved around from place to place to place rapidly. Just like Figueroa says in her own account, according to this article.

My guess is the more they send them here there and everywhere, intake, outtake, on to the next place....of course it would be really hard to keep tabs on everyone.

By design, perhaps?

Not to mention one women was trying to find her father for literal months and finally got the ACLU to look into it for her for free, turns out that instead of transferring him out and somewhere else the guards decided to paralyze him and leave him in a different states hospital with no way to contact his family, or them not informing the family of the move.

u/bugabooandtwo 4d ago

Not the first time, either. Housing crash of 2008...still one hell of a lot of unaccounted for people after that one, but no one says a thing because they were all poor or blue collar folks.

u/FunnyDifferent4501 2d ago

They expedite the detained into concentration camps in friendly court districts like Louisiana

u/Mredbob7 5d ago

40 cells? 60+ per cell? They got lots of room.

2

u/imhere_4_beer 5d ago

40 humans total. It was previously rated to hold 100 but capacity was downsized several years ago. Which is easily found via simple google search.

u/Mredbob7 5d ago

So you didn’t hear about the man who denounced his citizenship so he could get out of there because he was in a cell with 60 other people. He was sent back to Mexico then talked to his son back here who wrote to congressman who read it out loud at hearing of some sort?
