Local communities shut down Trump admin efforts to expand ICE detention centers [View all]

Rachel Maddow has done several reports on the efforts of local communities to block the opening of ICE/DHS prisons in local communities. I am glad to see other media sources to start reporting on the efforts of ICE/DHS to open numerous new prison/concentration camps.

Multiple communities have hit back hard against the Trump administration as it seeks to expand its capacity to detain migrants across the nation, with at least one successful in shutting down an effort to turn a 26-acre warehouse into a migrant processing center, The Washington Post reported Friday.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement is working to convert industrial buildings into detention centers across 23 different towns, an effort that would expand its detention capacity by 80,000.
One such effort materialized last month after DHS altered a plan to purchase a 26-acre warehouse and transform it into a migrant processing center. News of the planned purchase spread fast, and sparked outrage among locals, outrage strong enough that the purchase ultimately fell through.
