Looks like they're about to close the one they tried to build for 5,000 people, the first one they tried.
This is a protest this weekend in Georgia against plans to build a 10,000-person Trump prison camp in Social Circle, Georgia.
Donald Trump is telling the people of Social Circle, Georgia that it doesn't matter that they don't want it, doesn't matter that their sewer system can't handle it, doesn't matter that their water system can't handle it.
That little Republican-voting Georgia town is going to be forced to take a 10,000-person Trump prison camp
that will triple the population of their town to hold people indefinitely without trial and without access to lawyers.
And I say that because I mean it specifically.
The New York Times notes today that in the blueprints that have been made available for that facility in Social Circle, Georgia, among other problems in the blueprints, there do not appear to be any facilities whatsoever for the people being held there to meet with lawyers there.
And that's because this is, honestly, this is a black site prison to hold people without trial and without access to legal representation indefinitely.
That is what all of these places are that they are trying to build.
There were protests this weekend in 13 states, more than 70 different protests in 13 states this weekend, all targeting Citizens Bank.
Citizens Bank headquartered in Providence, Rhode Island.
Citizens Bank is being targeted because activists say they provide financing to the private companies that have been running Trump's immigrant prisons thus far.
Citizens Bank, as I say, headquartered in Rhode Island.
That meant that a lot of these protests this weekend were in New England, but they were all over.
They were all over.
You see the sign here at Concord, Massachusetts on the left-hand side, Boycott Citizens Bank.
And the overpass sign on the right there, Akron, Ohio.
Citizens Bank funds ICE camps.
National boycott effort now for a bank purported to be financing Trump's immigrant prisons.
There was also this protest this weekend in New Mexico.
