I don't think this horrifying January 20th article on Popular Information broke into the mainstream media much at the time, but given the news that the Trump regime is turbocharging its efforts to build concentration camps out of warehouses and military bases all around the country, it probably should have.

In the simplest possible terms, ICE is now denying medical coverage to thousands of detainees, and regardless of the reasons why that is happening (more below) this depraved indifference to human life inside what we have already established are concentration camps, is eerily reminiscent of the process that lead the actual Nazi Reich in Germany to conduct the Holocaust.

ICE has stopped paying for detainee medical treatment

"Under the law, ICE is required to provide necessary medical care for this population.

While ICE employs some of its own medical staff, it often uses third-party providers. ICE’s Buffalo Federal Detention Facility, for example, houses over 500 detainees and has no doctor or dentist on staff.

ICE, however, has not paid any third-party providers for medical care for detainees since October 3, 2025. Last week, ICE posted a notice on an obscure government website announcing it will not begin processing such claims until at least April 30, 2026. Until then, medical providers are instructed “to hold all claims submissions.”

ICE’s failure to pay its bills for months has caused some medical providers to deny services to ICE detainees, an administration source, who requested anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the press, told Popular Information. In other cases, detainees have allegedly been denied essential medical care by ICE."

If you read the entire story, you'll discover that this situation likely arose out of another manufactured outrage promoted by fascists both inside and outside the GOP; specifically the idea that having Veteran Affairs process medical services claims for ICE (which ICE paid them for in full) amounted to "robbing veterans to pay off" migrants. That is however not exculpatory for either ICE or the larger Trump administration, because deciding to stuff people into concentration camps and then refusing to provide them necessary, in some cases even life-saving medical care, because of a manufactured political scandal, is still deciding to lock people in concentration camps and let them fucking die.

To paraphrase Toni Morrison, the reason the Nazis called what we now know as the Holocaust, the "final solution" is because they tried a bunch of other things before that to solve the "problem" of Jewish people existing inside Nazi-controlled territory. One of those "solutions" was absolutely purposely making life in the concentration and labor camps impossible to sustain - in other words, murdering Jewish people and other folks inside the camps through intentional neglect. I'm pretty sure it's not any sort of accident at all, that Trump, Miller, Noem and other assorted literal fucking white supremacist nazis in this administration and the larger Homeland Security aparatus, are copying from Hitler and Himmler's most evil playbook.

@Ulfh3dnar

Trump is speaking in #FinalSolution terminology.

Less of a problem if he was a haberdashery salesman.

Unsettling with him as POTUS.
