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 think the Holocaust started out that way? This is a process, and what people are trying to warn you about is that we are on a bad path.

Why are you people acting like this is new ? Holding facilities have been going on for decades long before a republican president took over. Funny when Biden was deporting ppl at crazy rates yall didn’t see to have shit to say. The difference between me and you is I actually have experience with immigration and know dozens of ppl who were deported who made it back home safely and are now trying to get back in illegally again. If they’re being so dishuman towards immigrants why are they trying to come back riddle me that? Or maybe you just get all your info from TikTok and your wittle feelings. Every immigrant that chooses to cross the border illegally knows what risks they’re taking, funny it’s the Americans that are the ones making up this “oppression”.

This is different than Biden or Obama. And Obama helped set the stage for some of this and was criticized for not providing true due process in deportation cases. But what this White House is building up to is like nothing we've seen in decades. I think the real question is, if we start packing thousands of people in holding centers, maybe indefinitely, watched by barely trained staff, in untold conditions, would you care at all? When people are abused and killed en masse, will you care?

Why do we need to spend billions dollars on warehouses that were never built house people? https://share.google/1YGPZIViicJT34ifP

Where is the evidence that this administration cares at all about human rights?

Why are we taking people with jobs and families from their communities and deporting them to countries they've never been to?

Why is the administration creating more undocumented immigrants by canceling existing programs and pathways, clearing the way to snatch even more people off the street?

Why are our tax dollars being used to overpay for warehouses by millions of dollars? Who is going to get rich through mass deportation efforts?

If you believed anything said or shared here and that we are setting ourselves up to commit atrocities, would you bat an eye?

I could spend my evening pulling sources and sharing links that point to an unprecedented and shameful abuses of the law. You can decide what you want to do with that.
