One month after DHS bought a Hagerstown warehouse for $102M, Washington County, Md. board of commissioners will vote to pledge support for ICE operations. The facility will cost ~$110M/year to operate. The county collected $300K/year in property taxes when it was a warehouse.

Quick correction to the above: the STATE and county collected $300K in property revenue.

One of the commissioners voting tomorrow is Derek Harvey — retired Army colonel, former Trump NSC adviser (fired by H.R. McMaster), then Devin Nunes staffer who worked to challenge the Russia investigation into Trump between 2017 and 2019.

Derek might need a little encouragement to be a human being. Seems his resume speaks to that not coming naturally to him or his family.

Okay, I get why he’s for it. No way there’s $100 million worth of jobs and grim tourism from a concentration camp, so why are any of the other commissioners? Besides being morally bankrupt, just a plain CBA makes it untenable.
