Who pays when the federal government buys big?

New data shows ICE has so far spent nearly $450M acquiring almost 5M sq. ft. of warehouse space. But for local communities, the "sale" comes with a hidden cost: potentially hundreds of thousands in lost state and local tax revenue.

Join PSB at @redemmas.org to talk about how we are using public records — from federal procurement databases and land deeds to local plumbing and HVAC permits — to track Homeland Security’s unprecedented growth under the One Big Beautiful Bill.

Nice work. What's the source of beds data? Couple of ideas:
- If you can find APN, that is more reliable and stable than street address (and often includes more info).
- If you separate the state or zip, that would allow filtering to aid in organizing resistance.

Also:

If the Feds or these states adopt the 2024 IBC, this conversion from warehouse to detention (I-3 occupancy) should trigger a wind & seismic upgrade.

Just sayin', if they used the building code to make it harder to build abortion clinics, this is a much more justified application.
The Trump regime is plotting to convert commercial warehouses to massive ICE detention centers.

Private prison corporations, who just so happened to donate to Trump, are already raking in billions.

How many more private companies are going to cash in on this cruelty?

Hey there — beds data comes from a leaked document that Washington Post reported in December.

I actually have the data broken out by street/city/state but concatenated it so people on mobile could somewhat read the data. I’ll balance it out tomorrow.

Not yet. We’re watching the federal clearinghouse data like a hawk. Especially watching firms like SK2 LLC who have previously been attached to design and due diligence contracts for these processing centers.

Will also update with info when fit-out contracts start showing up.

Sadly, yes. The map is up to date with the new sale information and potential property tax loss for the local community.

Virginia, Oklahoma, and several others united and shut down similar sales in their states. Proud of y’all.

They looked at a place in Waynesboro, VA(just up the Interstate from where I live) in recent weeks, but the owners told ICE to fuck off.

I just saw this tracker about the ICE warehouses
bsky.app/profile/proj...
🚨 New: We built a visual tracker of the warehouses ICE is targeting across the US.

Working off an idea from @actualkatherine.bsky.social, we’ve mapped active searches, canceled deals, and linked state property records.

Update: In the past week we've learned ICE has secured property to build human warehouses in Merrimack, NH and Williamsport, MD *as well as* Surprise, AZ; Upper Bern, PA; and Tremont, PA.

Facts that bear repeating.

This is why @schumer.senate.gov and @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social ICE "reform" agenda is inadequate. The goal is not to see what you can secure thru legislative means alone as an end in and of itself. You lead and ask for more, create the conditions to lay the foundation for what we need to happen.

Alabama has the worst maternal mortality in the United States at 60 deaths per 100K live births. For reference, California has 18 deaths per 100K live births.

But Dr. Oz thinks it’s “cool” that American citizens do not have access to good reproductive healthcare in the wealthiest nation in history.
Dr Oz: "Alabama has no OBGYNs in many of their counties, so they're doing something pretty cool. They're actually having robots do ultrasounds on these pregnant moms."
