Civil unrest has a place in the USA, thats for sure. I think it would be a cleansing for the better! Sad, but true!

According to the video, it’s a goods warehouse that will now (potentially) house a population over twice that of the community the local infrastructure was built for.
It sounds like a legitimate concern, and the post sounds like clickbait outrage porn.
I like LoTT, but she can reach sometimes.
ETA: A rain of downvotes from people, but no clear argument that the city is wrong. #hivemind

We are definitely close to that tipping point.

If I am the Feds, I would put in a big military cemetery right behind the city managers home. The cemetery needs very little water and there is no sewer. If a public bathroom facility is required, make it abut to the city managers home or his mother in law's home!

According to the news report the city officials are worried about running out of water as the detention center doubles the amount of people who live in the town.

Based on the news report it does not seem as cut and dry as LoTT. It is more about being able to handle Water and Sewage demands.

We ain’t ever doing anything about anything. We all have to go to work tomorrow to pay our taxes to our oppressors. We will just ride out our days and pass the same crap to the next generation.

What they're saying:
City Manager Eric Taylor says the move is necessary because the town's sewer plant is already operating at its maximum capacity.
Taylor sent a statement to FOX 5 explaining that city officials alerted ICE about the lock on the meter after a representative asked how to establish a water account. According to Taylor, that lock will stay on until ICE can explain how the facility will operate without exceeding the city's "limited infrastructure capacity."
Taylor notes that while Social Circle is permitted to draw one million gallons of water a day from the river, the sewer plant can only process 660,000 gallons daily. The city is currently at its sewer limit. While the city's website mentions plans to build a new 3-million-gallon sewer facility, there is currently no clear timeline for when that would be completed.
Dig deeper:
On Feb. 18, the city posted on Facebook that ICE hadn't awarded any company the contract to convert the inside of the facility yet, but the facility will open by the end of Fiscal Year 2026. The city said documentation provided by ICE shows the facility will have holding areas, gyms and recreational spaces both indoors and outdoors, court facilities, intake areas, cafeterias, laundry facilities, on-site health services, and a gun range.
The backstory:
Documents previously obtained by FOX 5 reveal that ICE intends to house as many as 10,000 detainees at the East Hightower Trail site. While an ICE spokesperson claims the project would create 9,800 jobs and contribute $1 billion to the GDP, local leaders remain focused on the immediate strain on resources.
The other side:
FOX 5 has reached out to ICE for comment regarding the utility lock and is waiting to hear back.

It would triple it (and that’s before the “9,800 jobs” DHS says this will create). The center could house double the amount of the current population.
I have my issues with permits and zoning processes, but some of them are valid.

ICE detainees can get by on one bottle of water a day and pee outside. Bag the poop and throw it in the back of the lot. Employees can bring as much water as they need and enough to flush the commodes.
Detainees can pretend they live in San Francisco, except they have to clean up after themselves.

So they do not want the detainees to have water?
Seems like we need better public officials. You know, the ones who think things through

It appears that the city that locked out an ICE facility access to sewer based on 9800 new residents would also have locked out a kindergarten facility access to sewer based on 9800 new residents.

Good lord.
THEY need to think this through?
OK, Deep Thinker. If you suddenly put 10,000 detainees in a big building that was built to hold boxes, what’s your plan for dealing with the water and sewage demands?

Deep thinker...something I see you have never been called.
I said "we need better public officials, the ones who think things through"
Did public officials not put these 10000 detainees, out there?
This place would have one less retard if you quit coming.

The "public officials" that want to put 10,000 detainees out there are not the same "public officials" who are saying the infrastructure was not built for that.
