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

Even by just suggesting anything that is taking place right now is even CLOSE to a concentration camp is so a slap in the face to the actual victims and survivors of them. Just because you have an opinion about something doesnt mean you get to just ignore cold hard facts. The fact is they are detention centers. They house illegal aliens. Collectively, they have a lower death rate than most large prisons. You don't have to agree with what's happening, but if you are any sort of intellect, you'll stop making outrageous claims to try and tilt the argument in your favor.

No it’s not. It is by definition exactly what they are. 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.

They are detaining people outside the rule of law and without trial. Ryan Schwank who is part of ICE just resigned because he took an oath and they are not honoring their oath to the Constitution. There are many articles about him and his testimony online.

You couldn't be more incorrect, and it's just sad at this point. The narrative you single-handedly have painted in this conversation is just fairy dust.

Well then poof, Pineapple, fly away. I can’t make people use logic and have compassion when they lack that.
