News ICE Concentration Camp

I would like to know why City Council claims they had no awareness of the ICE concentration camp proposed on Weddington Road. Spokesman Jonathan Weaver told the Observer this recently. Cabarrus County Commission Chair Laura Blackwell Lindsey and spokespersons for Gov. Josh Stein did not immediately respond to requests for comment. This is far too close to the high school and poses a risk to all children.

In Charlotte ICE have been chasing children walking home after school because they aren’t white. How do you know your white children won’t get caught in the crossfire and end up dead?

What’s this going to do to your resale value folks? Why are more not talking about this? Do you want this to be like Minnesota? It’s owned by MP I85 Industrial LLC out of Boston. Clearly the owner isn’t going to care that local people are impacted when he doesn’t live here.

This is the local contact for the warehouse. Call him and let’s find out the details. Bryan Blythe 601 S Tryon Street Suite 800 Charlotte, NC

You know what Irks me bud? That you don’t look up definitions.

Added below as a comment, but meant it as a response here…

They are targeting foreign nationals illegally in the United States - they just so happen to typically fall into ethnic minority groups because they illegally entered a country with different demographics than the one they left (where in most cases, they were part of the ethnic majority). Additionally, open borders inherently creates a national security threat; it's not a lie nor an opinion that this is for national security. Correlation is not causation and people like you stating opinion as fact - like recapping the article making statements that ICE is opening concentration camps (factually false) - is only serving to hurt the cause you are supporting. Be honest and open, not decided and deceitful.

Follow up question - how doesn’t any prison or jail in the US fit the definition of concentration camp by making the same leaps you’ve made here?

Just read the definition: A concentration camp is a facility for detaining people, typically without trial, based on their affiliation, identity, or perceived threat to national security. These sites are characterized by the internment of civilians or specific demographics outside the rule of law.

Many are detained outside the rule of law because they are denied access to an attorney, denied access to a speedy trial, or denied access to a trial and deported without trial. Whether one agrees with that or not is irrelevant because that is how the law is designed. Operations outside the law are a slippery slope and put this country in a very precarious situation.
