William Shirer, in his canonical study of Nazi Germany, described the government of the Third Reich as “a vast and sprawling bureaucracy, having little of the efficiency usually credited to the Germans, poisoned by graft, beset by constant confusion and cutthroat rivalries” (The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich, page 276).

Sound familiar?

ICE is trying to open a concentration camp, I refuse to call them "detention centers," in Romulus, MI and the Mayor politely ripped them a new one. https://www.romulusgov.com/m/newsflash/Home/Detail/353

Is it near a train track by chance? I'm not kidding

Disaster Geek's avatar

No but it is sandwiched in the middle of a block between two residential areas. They put zero thought into this. They just saw a warehouse that was near an airport.

Thank you Mike for this article and for your timely reply to my email. I was able to present what you said to me to the Lebanon City Council. They agreed that someone somewhere knows something and is lying. Lebanon Mayor Bell and many of the commissioners all agreed we need to keep ICE out. Now we are vigilant and prepared if they do come to our little city. Over 200 ppl showed up to the Wilson County Council and made their wishes known, including me and my family. While there was not room enough for me to speak at that council as well, another family member of mine and several friends got to speak. We are continuing to email and call Mayor Hutto to ensure this is thoroughly investigated.

Is there any clarity on whether there was a warehouse purchased in Pennsylvania? Eyes on ice is reporting that a deed was recorded, but I can’t substantiate from their receipts.

Michael Wriston's avatar

Yes — A deed was recorded for the Tremont facility between BIGTRPA LLC and the US Government.

MAGA and Republicans could care less about waste, fraud, and abuse!

If you go to the Facebook page for the City of Social Circle, Georgia, you will see an article about a center that they intend to build there. Somebody in the comments mentioned to me that the site is right near a train track. That gives me the shivers, especially knowing that they have almost no plan for sanitation or water supply, but they are building a gun range at the camp. So question. How many of these other proposed sites are near Rail lines?

I live a town over from the Chester warehouse and been involved in the push back right after we first figured out they were looking at it via a flood plain analysis. ZERO communication to ANY local government - County Exec, County Legislature, town and villag mayors and supervisors. Hell they won't even respond to a direct email from our Congressman Pat Ryan. It is like the rest of the regime - sometimes things seem planned but they are just incompetence.

It's so trumpian. Try to turn verbiage into reality. Fiats into facts.

ICE should be commanded to reveal who are the 92,000 humans they intend to imprison in these warehouse concentration camps... Every single name as well as every single name of those already imprisoned. What ungodly work.....!! Thank you, Project Salt Box, for the work you do. I also would like to know the names of the people who refused to sell their properties to ICE so we can Thank them. Every decent act deserves Thanks.

All you have to do is go out on social media and find the names on the accounts of everyone who criticizes the regime. I bet I'm on those lists and I bet you are too. That's what Doge was actually doing. They weren't auditing. They were data mining.

What if they are lying? What if it is just “noise” to divert attention?
