Story summary

On November 11, 2026, MS NOW host Rachel Maddow suggested on The Daily Show that President Donald Trump might repurpose immigration detention centers to imprison "the rest of us" without trial. This comment came during discussions about the Department of Homeland Security's (DHS) decision to cancel plans for a 10,000-detainee center in Social Circle, Georgia, due to local opposition. Maddow argued that if such large-scale detention facilities were built, they could be used not just for immigrants but potentially for any group Trump targets, citing the lack of trials and legal rights for those detained. Host Jon Stewart countered by emphasizing that current detainees are held for minor civil infractions like overstaying visas or receiving parking tickets.
