💯 You don’t pay four times the assessed value unless something bigger is being built — and people see it.

Surely the lack of a competitive bidding process can be taken to court and freeze this thing in it's tracks? Sounds like the community was totally left out of the process too. That should be another lawsuit. Thanks for the info. I like this stuff. Short, but to the point with lots of info. Keep it up.

You’re asking the right question.

When public money moves without transparency or competitive process, it deserves scrutiny — especially if local communities were sidelined.

At minimum, there should be clarity on how the decision was made and who had input. Accountability isn’t optional when taxpayer funds and human lives are involved.

And I appreciate that — short and clear is the goal.

From whom. We know whose money they used

Grift #1: The owner of the warehouse makes a huge profit on selling the warehouse to the DHS.

Grift #2: The warehouse will actually be used to imprison legal US citizens who oppose Trump.

Grift #3: The operator of the detention facility will receive enormous funds from the US government to incarcerate US citizens and will then give them moldy, bug infested food, no beds to sleep in, constant loud music, constant bright lights, no toilets, and no medical care.

Public money at that scale demands scrutiny.

On the first point:

• If a property is purchased far above assessed value, the valuation process and justification should be publicly documented.

• Independent appraisal records and procurement transparency are baseline expectations in federal acquisitions.

On the second and third claims:

• Any detention of U.S. citizens without due process would be unlawful and subject to immediate constitutional challenge.

• Conditions of confinement in any federally funded facility must meet enforceable legal standards — including access to sanitation, medical care, and basic human necessities.

Large detention contracts concentrate money and power.

That makes oversight, documentation, and enforceable safeguards non-negotiable.

We need to protest and run them out of GA. We do not want this detention concentration camp

You’re right to be alarmed. A $128.5 million acquisition at four times assessed value — for a facility that could detain up to 10,000 people — raises serious questions about priorities, transparency, and accountability.

Communities have every right to oppose projects that override local authority and expand mass detention. Peaceful protest, public records scrutiny, court challenges, and sustained civic pressure are legitimate tools when residents believe government power is being misused.

If something this large is coming into Georgia, it should not happen quietly. It should face public examination, legal challenge where appropriate, and organized, nonviolent resistance from the people who live there.

Silence is how these systems expand.

How is money laundering not involved? This is not deportation, this is prison for profit, with no due process. Trump isn't bringing back manufacturing, his cronies are making money hand over fist from people's misery. And what Oligarch bought and sold the property to begin with? You know this isn't the only place where this is going on. This needs some serious investigation. Did Congress authorize taxpayer's money for this project? This is as bad as the military's $10 screws or a hospital's $20 aspirin. It seems like wasteful fraud and abuse and I don't think it's either in the taxpayer's interest or their desire. We can't afford health care but we can afford an inflated concentration camp where they can abuse and kill people.

When federal money expands detention capacity at that scale, it’s not abstract policy — it’s a signal about priorities.

People who organize, vote, and speak up — especially women and marginalized communities — often feel the impact first when power consolidates and oversight shrinks.

This deserves scrutiny grounded in facts, transparency, and who ultimately bears the cost.
