Text: The regime quietly spent over $128 million to buy a million-square-foot warehouse in Social Circle. It’s a conservative town of just 5,000 people about 50 miles east of Atlanta. The location is less than a mile from an elementary school. They bought it and told no one—no heads-up to city hall, no public meeting, nothing.
ICE’s plan was to convert the warehouse into an enormous detention center holding as many as 10,000 immigrants awaiting deportation—that would almost triple the town’s population. The regime wanted it operational by mid-May.
The city had one conversation with DHS, where their concerns went unheard. So City Manager Eric Taylor locked the water meter. “The lock is there until ICE indicates how water and sewer will be served without exceeding our limited infrastructure capacity,” Taylor said.
