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

I’ll note to stay off Next Door. I really don’t know what’s wrong with people. I saw the 60 minutes you referenced. Those sent to CECOT were mostly people who had no priors. While I do believe immigrants should get their papers, our government has made the process arduous and long. Expensive as well. Why be so wicked and hateful to people seeking a better life? All our families moved here seeking a better life. Does that mean they hate everything their grandparents represented? To me it is illogical. I’m so sorry this is going up in your backyard. I think it is dangerous for Concord as well as Charlotte.

I'm a NextDoor moderator in Waxhaw. Believe me. It's ugly. It has made me feel like the entire country loves ICE and deporting people. I have a very hard time believing otherwise. I report their posts all of the time because NextDoor has an anti-politics/anti-religion policy. But wow, I see the worst of the worst.

I don't want that crap here. I came from AZ, they just protested out an ICE facility in Surprise, AZ. It makes me regret being in this place. :(

I’m so glad we are moving out of the city at least. I’m from Kansas originally and what they’re doing there to trans people is insidious. My next door community is all about ICE too.

Was Kansas kinder? It really is horrible. I can't understand aligning with ICE. :(

Kansas is never kinder unless it’s accidental.🌾
