The MAGA uproar is the first local test of President Donald Trump and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noems drive to remake immigration detention by turning cavernous industrial buildings into Amazon-style hubs.
The scheme, detailed in internal ICE documents and public contracting plans and first reported by The Washington Post just before Christmas, envisions seven giant regional complexes, each designed for 5,000 to 10,000 detainees, plus 16 smaller feeder sites of up to 1,500 people, in a pipeline officials have likened to billionaire Jeff Bezos e-commerce network, but for humans.
However, that strategy hit the rocks this week, according to a new Post report. Inside a meeting room in Social Circle, Georgia, the newspaper reported that residents learned their town of roughly 5,000 people could be asked to absorb a warehouse that would hold up to 9,000 migrants.
Im supportive of the president, but I dont particularly want this, Victor Crawley, 57, told the Post, saying locals had only discovered the plan from the newspaper and had heard nothing from federal officials.
