More than 20 towns with large warehouses have become stealth targets for Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s $45 billion expansion of detention centers. Some communities complain that ICE isn’t telling them anything until after it has purchased space for thousands of detainees. In some cases, warehouse owners are refusing to sell.

The massive warehouse space located near Sweetwater Avenue and Dysart Road will become ICE’s new Surprise processing site. DHS will spend $150 million to retrofit the building over the next few months and another $180 million over the next three years to operate it.

Jesus fuck $300 million to put up and run a tent. Who are these particular crooks? Let me guess, a shell company in the Caymans called Pmurt?
