The U.S. Navy has drafted plans to house tens of thousands of immigrants in “temporary and austere” detention facilities while they await trial, according to the draft of a memo obtained by Time. The “tent cities,” Time reports, would include a 25,000-person facility in Alabama, and two 47,000-person facilities near San Francisco and Oceanside, California. Constructing and running the 25,000-person facility for six months, the memo estimates, would cost about $233 million. Trump has not yet called on the Navy to build any facilities, Time notes, but the document “indicates a potential growing military responsibility in an administration caught flat-footed.”
