ICE plans mega-concentration camps.

@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:
Jim Pattison won't sell U.S. warehouse proposed as new ICE facility | CBC News
Jim Pattison Developments has announced it will not sell an industrial building in Ashland, Va., that was set to be turned into an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) processing facility.
CBC (www.cbc.ca)

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.
Orlando mayor says city can’t legally stop ICE detention center from opening
A few municipalities across the country have discussed or even passed measures to stop an ice facility from opening in their communities.
(mynews13.com)
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.

Bloomberg, too, needs a new headline writer. ICE is not spending millions on **warehouses.** It's buying and building prisons for people who should never be in one.

@heidilifeldman @benroyce They are not building ‘prisons’ (which would imply due process had been followed) nor ‘warehouses’ (because they’re not storing commodities or goods), they’re building good old fashioned concentration camps. Doubtless the main objections will come from the NIMBYs.

Instead of buying warehouses, they should be paying their debts:
MAKS 25 👀🇺🇦 (@MAKS23@mastodon.social)
Attached: 1 image 🇺🇳🇺🇸 The UN is facing financial collapse due to non-payment of contributions by member states, Secretary-General Guterres said. As of the end of 2025, the arrears on contributions had reached a record $1.57 billion. The Secretary-General warned that the UN could run out of funds by July. Currently, the US debt is $2.19 billion to the organization’s regular budget, $1.88 billion for active peacekeeping missions and another $528 million for past operations.

It's incredible,when you think about it, billions of dollars taken away from program that helped people to later invest them in programs that hurt people.
And they continue to say they protect Christianity? Their actions are the opposite of what Christianity stands for. -
