One of my groups I attend to work towards employment I learned from an attendee that FEMA has a place for homeless people that if you get arrested for living in a public place or other reasons to be arrested you end up in this locked down area near the water front in Tacoma WA. Once they put you in there you don't get out. My friend has a person they know which is not only physically suffering from health problems and homelessness. Once you get caught in this snare you cant get out. Cell phones are taken from them, etc.
I read about the government preparing these places through out the US a few years ago and did not believe it...Nazi Germany? Apparently if you are homeless you cease to have all rights, Does anyone else have any more information on this?

(2,050 posts)That's been in the news a lot for the last few years, it's where they hold people picked up by immigration officers, recently there was a news story about living/working conditions there, I'll find out it's name and post it here in a bit.
It's always been described as a privately owned facility.
It's on the net, it's the "Tacoma Northwest Detention Center" located at 1623 "J" street Tacoma Washington.
I found it's page under the heading "Official Website of the Department of Homeland Security" and it's owned by the "GEO Group Inc"
It's an "ICE" facility and you can find it on google maps, a very large security fence is visible in the overhead view.
But FEMA?, I've never heard anything linking them to the facility.

(2,599 posts)What my friend told me about was an American citizen (born in America) that has been homeless for a while. He has been able to talk to her about this FEMA that he landed in and still in to my understanding. This was not about illegals but American citizens. Several years ago I saw a thread that outlined steps the government was taking (camps) and also a stock pile of coffins was a part of this. I am concerned because as I said this is an American citizen, homeless for a long time and ill. This country does not want to deal with correcting the problem, those not in a world of hurt and have homes/jobs just want to shove the problem down to the next county or whatever and not analysis the problem. What worries me is the similarity to Nazi Germany's German Solution sounds awfully similar.

(2,050 posts)There are large homeless encampments in Seattle and Tacoma, the only news I've heard/read about has concerned moving the camps to different locations from time to time and the fact that the City of Tacoma has supplied sanitary toilets an waste removal for them among other things.
Never a word about rounding them up and putting homeless people in a jail setting.
It would be national news in an instant.
