United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has purchased a massive warehouse in Social Circle, Georgia, for $128.6 million. The federal law enforcement agency is targeting more than 20 towns with large warehouses for its $45bn expansion of detention centers. Department of Homeland Security documents provided to the city show that, in addition to the 1 million-square-foot building, plans call for two other buildings. Combined, this would total 2.3 million square feet. Social Circle officials said in a statement they will hold 7,500 to 10,000 people, and it fears the water supply is inadequate.
230 SQ ft per person? Doubtful. This human rights violation will be packed with tens of thousands of people.
Every cage needs an occupant.
