“On February 6, 2007, homeland security secretary Michael Chertoff announced that the fiscal year 2007 federal budget would allocate more than $400 million to add sixty-seven hundred additional detention beds (an increase of 32 percent over 2006). …Both the contract and the budget allocation were in partial fulfillment of an ambitious ten-year Homeland Security plan, code-named Endgame, authorized in 2007. A forty-nine page Homeland Security document on the plans explained, deadpan, that Endgame expanded ‘a mission first articulated in the Alien and Sedition Acts of 1798.’ Its goal was the capability to ‘remove all removable aliens,’ including ‘illegal economic migrants, aliens who have committed criminal acts, asylum-seekers (required to be retained by law) or potential terrorists.’ ”
