@heidilifeldman of course fucking NH signed up. I feel like every politician there has forgotten their motto of "Live free or die" New England's mostly liberal but for some reason they've been like "yeah but what if we kissed bigoted republican ass?!" for years now.

@heidilifeldman here's a related WaPo article that includes addresses https://archive.ph/ZOFbz

some additional context about Hagerstown:
the city is often described as a blue city surrounded by a deep red county. Washington County was host to "The People's Convoy" during the pandemic lockdowns https://wjla.com/news/local/two-more-truck-convoystruck-convoy-protest-dc-maryland-virginia-what-we-know-covid-19-vaccine-mandates-protest-peoples-american-truckers-freedom-canada

also, the region has longstanding ties to the KKK:

@heidilifeldman

The cities have little power to stop them.

The Hanover County VA (Ashland, in the article) government voted against it and published its response letter here: https://www.hanovercounty.gov/m/newsflash/Home/Detail/1074

Hopefully the owners won’t sell to DHS.
A member of Richmond Defensa spoke at the meeting and specifically named the current owners; alas, I didn’t record his comments, and my memory isn’t that good.

@heidilifeldman

Orlando's mayor, Buddy Dyer, is a good man and a Democrat. He is powerless to stop this, and ORL has a very large immigrant community.

@heidilifeldman

The one proposed for Shakopee MN is getting community pushback, including from the state rep, and the property owner says both of their buildings are still available on the market (i.e. not under contract to ICE or anyone else).

@heidilifeldman This continues to be f’ing horrifying. 😓

@heidilifeldman ORLANDO!?! But it’s the happiest place on earth! I’d love to see Disney raise hell about this, but I’m a realist so I know that won’t happen.

@heidilifeldman The owner of the warehouse facility in Oklahoma City has pulled out of talks with DHS.

@heidilifeldman

And they're definitely going to do it because Stephen Miller has invested in prison stock.

@heidilifeldman Gas chambers coming next! #trumpnazideathregime

@heidilifeldman death camps. You can call them what they are. They're death camps.
