Started off as social media posts, then a brief note on Talking Points Memo, then a Philadelphia Inquirer op-ed. Maybe we'll make it to the front page of the NYT shortly after the concentration camps open.
The plan to convert a newly built 1.2 million-square-foot warehouse into a concentration camp where as many as 8,500 humans — double the size of the current largest federal prison — would be housed for as long as 60 days (or likely more) has riled up both residents and public officials in a place where 75% voted for Donald Trump in 2024.
The frustrated city manager of Social Circle, which was offered no input as a cash-flush ICE recently bought the spec warehouse for a whopping $128 million, told the Guardian that he’s denying the feds’ request to turn on the public water as they race to open their detention camp there as early as April.

I don't think he understands the point of concentration camps. You think they'll respect building codes and occupancy laws? It's where they send people to die. Lack of water is a welcome addition, they'll still have it operational in April.
concentration camp
Fucking FINALLY, someone in the media using the correct term.
Who wants to bet on whether or not there's air conditioning?
