Documents show Greensboro considered for ICE detention center, officials say no proposal

Source: WXLV (ABC affiliate)

The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) has released a heavily redacted collection of documents that indicate federal government agencies could potentially be considering Greensboro as a suitable location for a new ICE detention facility, a proposal that city leaders confirm hasn't been directly submitted.

There are reportedly three sites listed in North Carolina, including the former American Hebrew Academy located off of Hobbs Road in Greensboro.

Within this heavily-redacted, 98-page collection of paperwork, this 100-acre campus is referenced and the location of Greensboro described as a "highly suitable site" for ICE detention operations.

The Orange Regime is now considering turning a former Jewish school into a concentration camp.

The city isn't saying "No", but a few of my friends from the local Temple said that the Trustees of the school are utterly opposed to the idea.

Is their m.o. and why they do what they do. Plus it's probably close to the railroad tracks because they're looking for transportation to aid logistics. I know that the Woolworth bldg is close. I used to live down the street and the trains would rattle my windows.

I don't see how the link you posted in your reply to me is at all pertinent to me. Maybe you can use it to start your own new discussion in a separate OP.

Oklahoma City sit-in was two years earlier: The first Oklahoma City sit-in occurred on August 19, 1958, at the Katz Drug Store lunch counter, located at 200 W Main in downtown Oklahoma City. Led by NAACP Youth Council advisor Clara Luper and 13 Black students, this peaceful protest successfully desegregated the store within three days, marking a pioneering moment in the national civil rights movement. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&opi=89978449&url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Katz_Drug_Store_sit-in&ved=2ahUKEwjcgtmOv8CSAxUALtAFHVLHKRAQFnoECBsQAQ&usg=AOvVaw3_vfCowezXGegG1nxOUBCc

From Virginia to Oklahoma to Texas, Americans are refusing to go along with Trump’s immigration crackdown.

Across the country, Americans are saying no to ICE prisons in their communities

On Jan. 21, the Department of Homeland Security wrote a letter to officials in Hanover County, Virginia, informing them that the government would be building an Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in the town of Ashland.

For context, Hanover is a reliably red county just outside Richmond. Donald Trump beat Kamala Harris by 26 points there in 2024.

Specifically, the government told the Hanover officials that it wanted to build out the facility on a former cattle farm, where there is now a 500,000-square-foot warehouse constructed by a company owned by Canadian billionaire Jim Pattison.....

Then, less than 48 hours later, Pattison’s company put out a one-line statement: “The transaction to sell our industrial building in Ashland, Virginia will not be proceeding.”.....

If they build them, they will fill them up.

If history tells us anything, it’s that once facilities like this are built in these kinds of numbers, while they may start as immigration detention centers, they are available to the government to use indefinitely for whatever it wants to do.

But everywhere they are trying to build these things, including in some of the country’s reddest states, people are pulling out all the stops to prevent them from being built. And if the country stops the government from building them, it will never again have this kind of momentum to try to construct a constellation of prison camps outside the reach of the law.

Rachel has been covering this issue for the last couple of months. Last night was a great episode and I am glad that people are standing up and blocking these ICE prisons
