ICE plans mega-concentration camps.

@heidilifeldman

Orlando's mayor, Buddy Dyer, is a good man and a Democrat. He is powerless to stop this, and ORL has a very large immigrant community.

The cities have little power to stop them.

The Hanover County VA (Ashland, in the article) government voted against it and published its response letter here: https://www.hanovercounty.gov/m/newsflash/Home/Detail/1074

Hopefully the owners won’t sell to DHS.
A member of Richmond Defensa spoke at the meeting and specifically named the current owners; alas, I didn’t record his comments, and my memory isn’t that good.

My most recent information is that ICE has been blocked from building a prison camp in Shakopee; after local, state, and federal electeds rightly objected and the public pressured the real estate developers involved into backing out: https://bsky.app/profile/dbrauer.net/post/3md6hhv5x422s

Saw an item a few minutes ago the Jimmy Patterson is not selling the property.

@MillerTimeGarage @heidilifeldman that’s awesome news!

@MillerTimeGarage @heidilifeldman here’s an article about it — I know it’s in other threads but if you’re reading here first, this is the story:

@kdawson @heidilifeldman
Feds may be able to ignore zoning.. But can Shakopee/Scott County/Met Council pass rules which would prevent the hooking the sewer/water/electric service needed for 1500 people to a rando warehouse property? Refuse to widen roads?

@heidilifeldman

The more I think about this, the more I think organizing an ongoing protest would be fairly easy to do, and could add in many of the visitors to the area.

It's not that far from the parks, and right off of the Beeline for anyone going from Orlando to the eastern beaches.

It's not like their freaking Alcatraz, this is right near all the tourist destinations.

And freaking Daniel Webster... I thought we'd gotten rid of him.

@heidilifeldman This is good. The camps will be needed when MAGAmoron, his criminal cult, all the MAGAt supporters and all their MAGAt families are rounded up.

some additional context about Hagerstown:
the city is often described as a blue city surrounded by a deep red county. Washington County was host to "The People's Convoy" during the pandemic lockdowns https://wjla.com/news/local/two-more-truck-convoystruck-convoy-protest-dc-maryland-virginia-what-we-know-covid-19-vaccine-mandates-protest-peoples-american-truckers-freedom-canada

also, the region has longstanding ties to the KKK:
