The hidden ICE blueprint that should horrify every American

An internal Department of Homeland Security document shows how ICE plans to cram thousands of detained human beings inside a Georgia warehouse.

Excerpt: "A once sleepy rural town named Social Circle, Ga. — just over 40 miles east of Atlanta off Interstate 20 — has become the epicenter of the stealthy plan by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement ( #ICE) to rapidly create an American gulag archipelago of massive former warehouses adapted into detainment camps for arrested #immigrants.

"The plan to convert a newly built 1.2 million-square-foot warehouse into a #ConcentrationCamp where as many as 8,500 humans — double the size of the current largest federal prison — would be housed for as long as 60 days (or likely more) has riled up both residents and public officials in a place where 75% voted for Donald Trump in 2024.

"The frustrated city manager of Social Circle, which was offered no input as a cash-flush ICE recently bought the spec warehouse for a whopping $128 million, told the Guardian that he’s denying the feds’ request to turn on the public water as they race to open their #DetentionCamp there as early as April."

"The man is a mechanic who was born in Mexico... When two women [who were ICE agents] popped the hood on their vehicle and knocked on his door, the man went outside to help. The arrest was captured on video.

'He's been there for maybe 10 seconds, then the other cars pull up and surround him, and a bunch of agents jump out and tackle him... and take him away,' [attorney John] Hayden said. 'His six kids are now without their father.'”

I found out why my vet's office is so backed up lately. The woman who ran the front desk, and hence made the clinic run, got sick and tired of being profiled and pulled over by federal agents on her work commute. She's a white citizen, married to someone with a Latinx last name. So it seems that ICE/CBP are using automatic license plate readers to identify cars with owners with foreign sounding names, and stopping them over and over. She quit her job and now stays at home. #ICEOut

While out and about in #PortlandME, I came across this sign.

The late #JoeSoley was a notorious #SlumLord in #PortlandME. It seems his son #DavidSoley and grandson #JoshSoley are in cahoots with #ICE! David Soley might be connected to #OneCityCenter (where ICE has had an office since 2020). Josh Soley is the owner (and David the manager) of the #ICEFacility in #ScarboroughME.

Here is some info I found on Reddit...

Posted January, 26, 2026

"No ICE, No Josh Soley/ CORE

A recent post brought attention to the fact that Josh Soley is the owner of the #ICEKidnapping facility in Scarborough that is putting kids and their families in cages.

This fuckface is worse than the ICE agents terrorizing our town. He is akin to a #Nazi profiteer. I’m all for denying service to ICE agents, but can we please step up the boycott and refusal to allow Josh and his real estate company CORE to do business as usual? I bartend in town and I will quit before I serve him or his family. I will also donate to anyone who can make posters they can share and I promise to help plaster them all over town."

Also from Reddit, posted January 24, 2026:

"David Soley, shareholder of Bernstein Shur, owns the ICE Facility in Scarborough

Edit: David Soley is the REGISTERED AGENT. His son Josh is the owner.

The owner of record is "AEY LLC":

Idea for a poster to put up in areas with large ICE operations:

"Are you an ICE agent?
Do you have no way out?
Here are 5 easy ways to fuck things up from the inside:"

And then a list of a few types of sabotage/obstruction that are hard to distinguish from incompetence or being nitpicky.

I dunno. Is that anything?

#Marine Detained in #Minneapolis Says Feds Copied His Phone Without a Warrant

By Austin Campbell, February 12, 2026

"At first, #StevenSaari said, federal #immigration agents seemed to think he was one of them.

"Saari, a Marine Corps combat veteran who served in Iraq and Afghanistan, went to the scene of #AlexPretti’s killing in #Minneapolis less than an hour after federal agents fired the fatal shots. He was wearing his Marine camouflage and carrying a lawfully owned 9mm Glock handgun on his right hip, as he does every day, he told The Intercept. Agents on the scene 'thought I was undercover,' Saari said. 'They kept asking what agency I was with.'

"When Saari told them he was not with any agency, their demeanor shifted. Federal immigration agents soon aimed M4-style rifles at his head, footage reviewed by The Intercept shows, their fingers on the trigger less than a minute’s walk away from where Pretti was killed.
'More and more #BorderPatrol and ICE agents gathered around me,' Saari said. 'Then they moved in with rifles and handguns drawn.'

"The encounter raises questions about how federal agents assessed threats, used force, and made arrest decisions in the immediate aftermath of Pretti’s killing. In Saari’s case, he and his attorney told The Intercept, federal agents took scans and samples of his biometric data and made a copy of his phone — without obtaining a warrant."
