There will be 'camps', along with round-ups, separations, and Stephen Miller
“I have received some guidance to avoid terms, like ‘camps,’ that can be twisted and used against the president, yes,” says one close Trump ally. “Apparently some people think it makes us look like Nazis.”
It wasn’t the news media that came up with the term “camps” to describe the plans for Trump’s new, expanded system of detention facilities for holding immigrants awaiting mass deportations — a network of detention centers that he could potentially call on the U.S. military to help build and operate. It was Team Trump that started describing the future that way.
A year ago, Stephen Miller — Trump’s top immigration adviser, who was recently appointed to serve as deputy chief of staff for policy in his new White House — began publicly outlining his and Trump’s grandest nativist vision for rounding up millions for deportation.
At the time, Miller himself was routinely and specifically using the word “camps” to describe what he and his boss wanted the military to build, should they retake power in 2024. “He said it a lot,” says a Trump 2024 official who’s known Miller for years. “If you know Stephen, you know why he didn’t have a problem with it.”
