U.S. troops lash out at Donald Trump’s child concentration camps, setting stage for unprecedented conflict

Dear Palmer Report readers, we all understand the difficult era we're heading into. Major media outlets are caving to Trump already. Even the internet itself and publishing platforms may be at risk. But Palmer Report is nonetheless going to lead the fight. We're funding our 2025 operating expenses now, so we can keep publishing no matter what happens. I'm asking you to contribute if you can, because the stakes are just so high. You can donate here.

Numerous U.S. military veterans have publicly lashed out at Donald Trump’s inhumane and unconstitutional decision to abduct immigrant children from their parents and lock them inside cages in what can only be described as concentration camps. Of course they’re not the ones being ordered to help carry out Trump’s atrocities. Now some active duty U.S. troops are lashing out at Trump’s camps as well, setting up an unprecedented conflict not seen in modern American history.

U.S. soldiers, some of whom have been stationed in and around the military sites being considered for Donald Trump’s next round of immigrant concentration camps, are expressing moral outrage about the camps to the Daily Beast. Their names are being withheld from print for obvious reasons. So what happens when the construction of these camps gets underway just days from now? How many other U.S. troops at these installations are morally outraged? How many of them consider this to be an illegal order?

During the course of his illegitimate presidency, Donald Trump has run afoul of just about everyone. The U.S. intel community is actively working to expose him and take him down for his various crimes. He’s been at war with federal judges, members of Congress, you name it. Now even portions of the U.S. military don’t seem to be sure if they can go along with his criminal orders.

We don’t know what happens next. Historically speaking, military coups very rarely tend to work out well for existing democracies that have gone off the rails. But we’re now facing the very real possibility that at least some members of the U.S. military are about to refuse to follow Donald Trump’s immoral and illegal orders. If he starts locking U.S. soldiers in cages for refusing to participate in his atrocities, it could cost him whatever support he has left with the American public.
