and is already operating at capacity.

It cannot accommodate an increase in usage of this magnitude.

That's for wastewater.

How about the water supply?

Freshwater to the facility?

This is absolute genius from Kristi Noem.

Look at this.

The Homeland Security analysis references a, quote, cistern-based, cistern-based approach in which tanks would be filled from local municipal systems during off-peak hours.

Regardless of time of day, the city's infrastructure cannot accommodate this level of demand.

While the proposal is certainly creative, it does not resolve the fundamental issue.

The total additional water demand required for a facility of this scale simply exceeds what the city's system is capable of providing.

I mean, this, I feel like this is the genius of the Trump administration as effectuated by Kristi Noem.

This is a town that does not have enough water to support a massive prison camp for up to 10,000 people.

Kristi Noem's proposed solution to that is to say, it's okay, we'll build big tanks and we'll fill them only at night.

So that means there'll be enough water because you said you're only using, you know, X gallons per day.

Well, we'll take our water per night.

In the great state of Maryland, the attorney general of that state as of today is suing the Trump administration to stop one of these massive prison camps from being built in Maryland in Washington County.

This was a protest this weekend in North Carolina in Concord, North Carolina, where locals there are worried that they're going to have one of these Trump prison camps too.

We've been monitoring protests and local anger about potential Trump prison camps all over, among other places, in Chester, New York, in Lebanon, Tennessee, in Roxbury, New Jersey.

I single out those three places in particular because in just the past few days, Kristi Noem's shambolic department has reversed itself and in some cases double reversed itself, confusing everyone in those three places about whether they really are still trying to put prison camps in those towns.
