One thing people do not realize is that warehouses are designed with toilet and plumbing facilities for very few occupants. The water and sewer utilities are grossly undersized for this purpose, not to mention that there are many other code differences between these facility types (Industrial vs Residential). It is highly doubtful that the modifications required to bring them into compliance with building codes are being done as the federal government claims exemption from those. They purposely treat these poor people worse than animals. It might be successful in deterring more immigrants, but it is evil, despicable and depraved, just like Trump, Noem and Homan.
100% correct, sadly. In the case of the Washington County facility, it was permitted only for 4x toilets, 4x sinks, 2x showers, and 2x drinking fountains. Essentially, only enough for staff working there.
And the utilities to the industrial parks are not sufficient either, so even if they try to update the building, they would have to run new utilities for blocks, or even miles. It’s a true “shit show”.
Thank you for your excellent reporting. The research and writing is top notch. If I can ever be of help with fact-checking, copy editing, or proofreading (not that your posts show you need this; I'm just volunteering to help out) let me know. I'm a former journalist and freelance writer. In Maryland I'm proud that a bill is advancing in the General Assembly to outlaw 287 agreements between local law enforcement agencies and ICE.
Milwaukee will soon be getting its own 32,000 sq.ft processing center. At this time the new facilities are being renovated with such things as a sally port and high privacy fence on the outer perimeter. It was purchased by an IL company that formed a new Llc for this specific location- Milwaukee Governmental Llc. For the community and city of Milwaukee there was no accountability, public hearing, or zoning ordinances to adhere to. The new owners via the federal government used the Supremacy clause to bypass it all!
Great Reporting. It’s depressing to realize the billions of tax dollars going into corporate pockets to inhumanly house our neighbors and children. What has become of America, I’m ashamed!
There isn’t an infinite supply of undocumented immigrants. Once they’re all gone, who will be the next group of undesirables that need to be warehoused in concentration camps? You know they’re not going to shut those cash cows down.

Nakamoto is not in the picture anymore.
Correct, I'll make that clearer in the explainer.
Anything about the one in Shakopee MN?
