🟢 Durant, OK warehouse has sold… to the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma! ICE previously sought to buy the space to create a mega detention center capable of holding 8,500 people. This is the 13th warehouse they have been denied.

This move denies ICE a second Okla. concentration camp and preëmpts an annual operating cost of nearly $1.5 billion. It also keeps roughly $100,000 in annual property tax revenue in the community — plus any opportunities stemming from the Choctaw Nation's use of the property.

I'm not so sure. There has been a marked slowdown in the warehouse initiative since Noem's departure and the Maryland TRO. I'm not saying that future sales are off the table, but I think the headwinds are finally deterring DHS from pursuing this like they were two months ago.

Any logistical, legal, financial, etc hurdle to any property becoming an ICE facility is an endeavor worth taking on. It costs them extra money, man-hours, time, and effort when things don't go their way. That's time, effort, manpower, and money that can't be spent caging and shooting people...
