Rex-84
From SourceWatch
Rex-84 was Oliver North's 1984 "controversial" "'readiness exercise' [that] called for the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to round up and detain 400,000 imaginary 'refugees,' in the context of 'uncontrolled population movements' over the Mexican border into the United States. North's activities raised civil liberties concerns in both Congress and the Justice Department." [1]
