When you try to make sure that nobody knows you're doing it because you can't come up with a way to defend what you're doing.

So you try to do it anonymously.

In Orange County, Florida, county commissioners say this week they're going to bring up a resolution in opposition to the plans to build a big Trump prison camp in East Orlando, Florida.

In Baltimore County, Maryland, the Baltimore County Council is convening an emergency meeting tomorrow night to try to stop what they fear is going to be a new ICE facility in Baltimore County, Maryland as well.

And look, this is actually just from tonight within the last couple of hours.

This is a Hertford County Board of Commissioners meeting in Winton, North Carolina.

This is tonight.

Winton, North Carolina is apparently another place where they want to put yet another Trump prison camp.

Even though that item was not formally on the agenda at this Board of Commissioners meeting in North Carolina, local folks packed the meeting tonight anyway to speak out against it.

We just got this footage in in the last few minutes.

But we're really seeing this everywhere, everywhere.

From Texas to North Carolina, Oklahoma, New Jersey, New Hampshire, Mississippi, Oregon, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Maryland, Georgia, everywhere we can follow this story, in every single place Trump is trying it, there is across the board nonpartisan opposition.

to any of these Trump prison camps being built anywhere.

You're seeing opposition and action against it from Republicans, from Democrats, from independents, from politically engaged people, from people who clearly have no politics at all.

Just everywhere, literally everywhere that he is trying it, the American people are saying, no, they do not want this.

They do not want a Trump prison camp in their town.

And I mean, honestly, whatever you think about Donald Trump and the Trump administration,

Is there anyone among us who contends that this is the guy, this is the president, this is the sane, sober, measured leader to whom the American people want to entrust a multibillion-dollar string of new, absolutely massive, black-site prison camps specifically to hold civilians in huge numbers indefinitely without trial?

Is that the kind of tool we want to give to this president in particular in his infinite wisdom, in his restraint and modesty?

How do you think a president like him will use such a tool?
