THEY ARE BUYING UP WAREHOUSES TO HOLD HUMAN BEINGS IN DETENTION INDEFINITELY.
I feel crazy at how everyone is acting like this is normal. These are concentration camps being built right before our eyes. These buildings are not meant to house human beings. People will be caged like cattle and die.

Now we learn the billionaire owner of a bridge that will compete w/the new Canada-MI bridge met with Lutnick right before Trump issued his threat to shut down the new bridge. The Trump admin is a lawless mafia gangster extortion racket existing to enrich oligarchs at our expense.

I’ve seen a lot of questions on these lines, and the quick answer is that once the federal government purchases the property (including the land the warehouse sits on), local governments cannot regulate them or tax them. They are now federal properties and so the Supremacy Clause applies.
Aren't warehouses usually zoned as 'Commercial/Industrial' properties?
So, then why are they being used as 'Residential'!?
Am I wrong?

ICE is likely paying a premium to get the deal through quickly. E.g., in Hamburg, PA, the warehouse was purchased in 2024 for $57.5 million and sold to ICE for $87 million.
The real profit will come with the private prison companies and contractors hired to refurbish and staff these facilities.

Prisons are for people who've been CONVICTED of crimes.
Most people in these warehouses - without proper food or sanitation or worse - haven't even been CHARGED with crimes.
And thousands are CHILDREN.
This will be another of America's greatest shames.

ICE has now spent over half a BILLION dollars just on purchasing warehouses around the country to convert into detention camps.
If these mega-camps are utilized to the full capacity ICE intends, they'll be the largest prisons in the country, with little real oversight. www.ajc.com/politics/202...

Unspeakable cruelty
Yesterday marked eight months of detention for Hayam El Gamal and her five children—ages 18, 16, 9, and 5-year-old twins—who are being detained at an immigration facility in Dilley, Texas.
The kids have begun skipping meals out of depression. The 9 year old says she wishes she was dead.
