I live in GA, and this has been talked about quite a bit in NPR and other radio stations. It's important to know that Social Circle might as well be called MAGAville. They aren't passed about people being detained. Quite the opposite. The strange hypocrisy is that one of the core tenets of being a conservative is also being a NIMBY. They don't want their town to change (especially not by adding a ton of non-detainee residents).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dachau_concentration_camp
After the takeover of Bavaria on 9 March 1933, Heinrich Himmler, then Chief of Police in Munich, began to speak with the administration of an unused gunpowder and munitions factory. He toured the site to see if it could be used for quartering protective-custody prisoners.
Himmler announced in the Münchner Neueste Nachrichten newspaper that the camp could hold up to 5,000 people, and described it as "the first concentration camp for political prisoners" to be used to restore calm to Germany.[18] It became the first regular concentration camp established by the coalition government of the National Socialist German Worker's Party (Nazi Party) and the German National People's Party (dissolved on 6 July 1933). Dachau was the concentration camp that was in operation the longest, from March 1933 to April 1945, nearly all twelve years of the Nazi regime.
History doesn't repeat itself, but it does rhyme.
“Restore calm”
Funny way of saying “silence dissidence and create an atmosphere of oppressive fear.”
It won't be just for immigrants.
Reminder that these detainees are a mix of US citizens, legal immigrants, legal immigrants made illegal by this admin by taking away their status, and illegal immigrants. Most are law abiding and tax paying people.
Most are law abiding and tax paying people
...which makes them the natural enemies of this admin of crooks, which are neither of the two.
Hence why they’re building a new prison for them instead of sending them back to their home country.
"Capable of holding 10,000 people"
I guarantee if this gets built they will shove 5 times that amount of people in there.
"for immigrants"
Yes, just keep telling yourselves that, it's only for immigrants, surely they'll never be used for anyone but immigrants. Even while ICE is already having trouble finding enough brown people -- illegal immigrant or not -- to arrest to fulfill their quotas, they're still buying up and building more space solely for housing "immigrants". Right. Uh huh.
They're trying to build massive concentration camps while deporting anyone who is even slightly brown or "ethnic", often to countries they have zero connection to. So I ask you, who are these concentration camps for?
Hint: System of a Down got it right
It will always be for "immigrants". But Trump, through an "emergency executive order in the name of national security' gets to define who is an "immigrant".
Here's the plan in question if you're not interested in clicking through:
Inhumane & repugnant.

Dude is spitting facts
but they have accessible rooms? Smdh woke concentration camps smh my head
ICE should be disbanded and anyone responsible for this kind of thing should be arrested.
I'd love to see Democrats running on that for 2026 elections.
I’d love to see Democrats running on that for 2026 elections.
Dems: "Best I can do is running on slightly reforming ICE, and maybe making it illegal for them to wear masks ... unless it's cold or they feel it's necessary for their safety."
"Centrists" or as I like to call them, "cowards"
Or as I like to call them, "collaborators".
Bro you guys need the nuremberg trials 2.0 before this is over.
ICE needs to be tried in front of a court of law, and that is the compromise position
Wont be long now before the gas chambers make a comeback too.
And when they feel like they've got a handle on the immigrants, they'll use those Concentration Camps to hold those they can lease out to corporations as Federal Slaves.
Who will be in those camps? People who have too much debt, are unemployed, homeless, need government assistance, protesters, dissenters, etc.
Also, they are currently building a facility in Guantanamo Bay, to hold 30,000 people. It currently holds about 200, and the largest maximum security prison in America holds 8300. If they're building a place for 30K, they must be planning on locking up a LOT of people.
When will the realization strike that it is not for immigrants?
First they came for the Immigrants
oh look. they have ball court access. so they’re “free range?”
the nazis who build this need a nuremberg.
It's going to get real bad and those people who thought three No Kings protests were enough are going to wish they would've done more when they're dragged away to these concentration camps.
Is this going to turn out to be a slavery thing? Do they end up working for the Fed?
I may have to go visit said spot before there's a ton of security, just for "informational purposes"
I wonder what it would take to hide dash/trail cams with good sightlines into the facility...
How many sugars do you take in your coffee? At least a couple of five pound bags, right?
Outrage, but no stopping it—or, just a relocation. Zero things are getting better. Don’t let the lib media trick you into having hope.
