Deep Red Maryland county angry over ICE detention center

Matthew Young, a 34-year-old truck driver who lives in the county, agreed wholeheartedly with the president on the issue. “He never made it a secret that he was going to have the biggest deportation in American history, from day one,” Young said.

But in December, county residents learned that the Department of Homeland Security planned to convert an enormous empty warehouse in Williamsport into a detention center that would house as many as 1,500 people arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents. Though the president still had his supporters, the news didn’t land well with everyone. Some residents were hostile to an ICE facility opening, and others worried their county would become another hot spot in the rancorous nationwide debate over how immigration should be enforced.

This typical Not in My Backyard (NIMBY) reaction. The plan sounded great when trump came up with it, but when these repubs found out that their neighborhood would be hosting a detention center, WAIT A MINUTE! Who is surprised?

That county was a +30 win for Trump. Those people wanted Trump to have his way with them so I don't know why they're complaining about it.

They may just not want to deal with the shrieking AWFULs protesting.

1500+ people (plus staff, support, etc) might also be a strain on the area, especially utilities.
