Obama FEMA conspiracy camps? Another MAGA projection of their intent?

The FEMA camps conspiracy theory is a belief, particularly within the American Patriot movement,[1] that the United States Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is planning to imprison United States citizens in concentration camps, following the imposition of martial law in the United States after a major disaster or crisis.[1][2][3][4] In some versions of the theory, only suspected dissidents will be imprisoned. In more extreme versions, large numbers of United States citizens will be imprisoned for the purposes of extermination as a New World Order is established. The theory has existed since the late 1970s, but its circulation has increased with the advent of the internet and social media platforms.[2]

Report finds ‘dehumanizing' conditions in Florida immigration detention centers

Conditions in South Florida's immigration detention centers during the Trump administration's ongoing crackdown have been described as degrading and dehumanizing-violating international human-rights standards and the U.S. government's own detention guidelines-in a newly released report by three advocacy organizations.

The 92-page report, "‘You Feel Like Your Life is Over': Abusive Practices at Three Florida Immigration Detention Centers Since January 2025," was released this week by Americans for Immigrant Justice, Human Rights Watch and Sanctuary of the South. It alleges widespread mistreatment of migrants detained at the Krome North Service Processing Center, Broward Transitional Center and the Federal Detention Center in Miami.

The organizations-an immigrant-rights law firm, a global human-rights watchdog and a worker-led collective-reviewed documents and interviewed 17 current and former detainees, along with family members and attorneys.

Detainees described extreme overcrowding, unsanitary conditions and abusive treatment by Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers and private contractors. "Some were shackled for prolonged periods on buses without food, water, or functioning toilets; there was extreme overcrowding in freezing holding cells where detainees were forced to sleep on cold concrete floors under constant fluorescent lighting," the report states. "Many were denied access to basic hygiene and medical care."

doing something, FEMA concentration camps, voting machine manipulation etc to thoroughly investigate at a federal level.

Who knows what would have happened if we had taken serious the story line of being able to manipulate the voting machines way back.
