About this episode
The episode discusses the deployment of the U.S. military in America for the mass round-up of immigrants and citizens labeled as enemies, leading to inhumane conditions in prison camps.
The U.S. military is deployed on the streets of America, tasked with carrying out the mass round-up of innocent immigrants and American citizens labeled by the government as the "enemy" within. Tens of thousands of American families are forced to live in hastily constructed prison camps — enduring inhumane conditions — while government officials scramble to figure out what to do with them all.
