Pro-Trump towns are in revolt over plans to create vast new ICE detention warehouses in their backyards.

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.
