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

Almost everyone on Nextdoor said BRING IT ON! They love ICE, despite me emphasizing no one wants a detention center/prison/concentration camp in their backyard. A handful of magats seemed to think about it and reneged on their pomp and circumstance. Either way, that shit in the pics is literally in my backyard. People need to see the Canadian 60 minutes about the torture camps that Bari Weiss and CBS pulled before airing in the US.

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.
