They're salivating anyway.

In Trump's mass deportation plan, the private prison industry sees a lucrative opportunity​

He's really using his real estate savvy to ease the burden on taxpayers.

Incoming Trump admin is eyeing new immigrant detention centers near major U.S. cities​

The goal is to double the number of Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention beds — 41,000 are now allocated by Congress — to hold vast numbers of migrants for short periods of time while they await deportation after their arrests inside the U.S., the sources said.

The plan would also include restarting the policy of detaining parents with their children, known as family detention, which immigration advocates have criticized and the Biden administration stopped in 2021, the sources said.

Cities with large populations of migrants — like Denver, Los Angeles, Miami and Chicago — could need additional detention sites built nearby to hold migrants arrested there. The administration might also need to reopen, expand or build new facilities in the Northeast to hold migrants arrested around New York City, Philadelphia and Washington, the source said.

Trump allies told to avoid referring to immigration 'camps'​

“I have received some guidance to avoid terms, like ‘camps,’ that can be twisted and used against the president, yes,” a Trump ally told [Rolling Stone]. “Apparently some people think it makes us look like Nazis.”

As Rolling Stone reports, the term “camps” originated in Trump’s own orbit. Last year, Trump’s deputy chief of staff pick Stephen Miller “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.”
