Why is National Guard recruiting for 'internment' cops?

An ad campaign featured on a U.S. Army website seeking those who would be interested in being an "Internment/Resettlement" specialist is raising alarms across the country, generating concerns that there is some truth in those theories about domestic detention camps, a roundup of dissidents and a crackdown on "threatening" conservatives.

I saw this and wanted to see what others thought it could mean. Personally I am not sure what to make of it but at the same time I can see no reason for us having another internment camp like they had in WW2. We all know how well that worked out.
Also leads one to wonder where these camps will be located because if I recall the FEMA camps were proven to be false right? I could be wrong on that because I never read much on them.

I believe there is a US code section (maybe somebody can provide the exact citation?) that basically gives the federal government (via FEMA I believe) the authority to "quarantine" anyone or any reason.

Well that doesn't sound so bad on the surface, but ...

It also gives them the authority to hold those quarantined "incommunicado" - without any access to legal reprsentation or contact with their family.
It also give the authority to hold people indefinitely - with no limit on the duration.
It doesn't specify what kind of infectious threat would be justified (if any).

This is where fears of the government rounding people up they just don't like on a flimsy excuse come from. They wouldn't have the need for any of the normal legal "due-process", "probable cause", etc. involved in charging somebody with a crime - just tell say they are being quarantined, and take them away.

Personally, I don't believe there is any conspiracy going-on to round-up undesirable Americans or forcible population reduction or anything like that . However I believe that legal loop-hole needs to be plugged! At least if they were required to provide access to an attorney, etc. then there would be some due-process at least possible.

Of course, this might be based on old information as well. Let's see if anyone can track-down an on-line citation of the law or regulation that I'm thinking about. Maybe it's been fixed already.

Peace.

Discussion on the topic here. Interesting stuff, an actual military person chimed in to explain it.
