Outrage is mounting in Georgia and across the United States as the federal government moves to dramatically expand Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention capacity as part of an escalating war on immigrants. In rural Social Circle, Georgia, local officials revealed that ICE intends to purchase a 1.2 million-square-foot warehouse and convert it into a massive detention complex capable of holding up to 10,000 people, a scale of incarceration not seen in the United States since the mass imprisonment of Japanese Americans during World War II.
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.

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.”
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.
ICE needs to be tried in front of a court of law, and that is the compromise position
Or- hear me out- a different but broadly popular coalition of sane, not corrupt people who are sick of the appeasing Dems and fascist Repubs. Let’s break this stupid system.
It won’t be just for immigrants.
It won’t be just for criminals.
When will the realization strike that it is not for immigrants?
First they came for the Immigrants
“Capable of holding 10,000 people”
I guarantee if this gets built they will shove 5 times that amount of people in there.

The detention center is TOO FULL!
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.
I live in GA, and this has been talked about quite a bit on NPR and other radio stations. It’s important to know that Social Circle might as well be called MAGAville. They aren’t pissed 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).
I may have to go visit said spot before there’s a ton of security, just for “informational purposes”
How many sugars do you take in your coffee? At least a couple of five pound bags, right?
I wonder what it would take to hide dash/trail cams with good sightlines into the facility…
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.
Is this going to turn out to be a slavery thing? Do they end up working for the Fed?
100% leased to the corporate overlords. The Uighur/Kafala model.
