What an absolutely despicable level of medical neglect this poor man suffered. This is the reality of these concentration camps and ICE will bring more of this to Marana and Surprise if those facilities open.

The meeting ended around 9 PM, and the overwhelming majority once again voiced heavy criticism of the concentration camp. Many offered suggestions on how to stall its construction (DHS is currently projecting an opening at the end of September).

The next Surprise City Council meeting is March 17.

One of the last speakers addressed the child abuse at the Dilley camp in TX, continuing “this facility will be no different” and “families will be placed there — medical neglect, physical, emotional and sexual abuse, death. Think if your own families lived the trauma we hear out of Eloy or Dilley.”

Walter was back, saying “DHS says they are going after the worst of the worst. They are not. They said Renee Good ran over that ICE officer. She did not. They said Alex Pretti was an assassin but he was not so when DHS describes their facility as safe, secure and humane, they are obviously not.”

An 82-year-old vet told the Surprise council he has “one fight left” and that is “to fight for my City and to fight for those people that I hold dear and this ICE processing center is not going to go through. Period.”

Sign the Petition No ICE Detention Centers Near Schools and Neighborhoods

The VP of the Dysart High student council, who has been vocally against the concentration camp, said she has requested a meeting with the Mayor and has been ignored and also got no real response from their school principal. She’s going to DC to speak about this and asked for support of her petition:

A Marine vet to the council: “Our grandchildren will read about this in history books someday. What will you say when they ask what did you do when they were putting people in camps? Did you stand up for your neighbors or obey in advance? This is a moment that will follow you and echo for eternity.”

Mayor Kevin Sartor has also been criticized multiple times tonight for serving as the Safety Coordinator at Dysart High School, which is across the street from the warehouse and refusing to answer questions about student safety & the concerns multiple students have brought forward at these meetings.

Speaker after speaker is criticizing the council for failing to offer any statement on whether or not they support the planned concentration camp. Jack Hastings in particular is facing extra scrutiny as the only council member who voted against even sending a letter to DHS asking for specific plans.

Lisa Everett, an LD-29 GOP chair, is back to speak out against the Surprise concentration camp and the entire DHS warehouse project. Everett criticized the officials “who chose inaction” and told the council, “It’s time to remember this is not how we treat people, especially the most vulnerable.”

(Also just personally I’ve talked to people at the other meetings that said they’re going to sell their home if the concentration camp is opened.)

A resident in the area said she is going out of her way to shop out-of-town, will no longer attend Surprise festivities, and isn’t attending the Spring Training season as she’s done with her family every year and encouraged others to start similar boycotts of Surprise.

A woman Linda Spillers said she was in favor of the Surprise concentration camp saying its “necessary” and then went on to cite Nick Shirley’s “investigation” into fraud (🫥).

Unfortunately there’s several more people speaking out during public comment that are in favor of the concentration camp. One man, who has appeared at the other two meetings, was upset over the recent attempted fire at the concentration camp asking: “Is that the kind of message you want to send?”

The meeting started early because the beginning agendas were related to a possible rezone of the Mesquite Mountain Ranch area and the council was grilling the hell out of the project’s presenters. Then they immediately went back to the “aw shucks we can’t do anything about the concentration camp.”

I couldn’t make it tonight, but I’m watching the third Surprise City Council meeting since DHS purchased a 418K square foot industrial warehouse to convert it into an ICE concentration camp. Some notes here. 🧵

It’s cool when government officials from the top down sound worse than the most committed of the literal doomsday cult I was raised in lmfao this is fine

there’s a lot of weird, terrible bills introduced this session but the Christian nationalist Armageddon wishcasting and also “let’s eliminate the West Bank” legislation really takes the cake

ICE arrests tripled in Arizona last fiscal year as street operations surged - AZ Luminaria This story is published in partnership with CALÓ News, a nonprofit, community-centered newsroom uplifting Latinos in Arizona and California. Immigration arrests in Arizona more than tripled in Fiscal ...

For months, immigrant communities and advocates said arrests were rising here. Newly analyzed ICE data show Arizona arrests more than tripled last fiscal year

Not only is it a violation of sovereignty but the Tohono O’odham used to have a ritual salt walk to the sea of Cortez that is a part of their heritage that was only recently being revitalized and is being destroyed again by border bullshit

Salt River Project, an AZ utilities election.

Would have I found that one of these longtime SRP board members is a straight up “Jews are lizards” poster if not for the TPUSA endorsement? Probably not. But also why in the hell has nobody reported on this guy in the many years he’s been in charge of our water and electricity

It’s like when the Hitler Management guy at SRP went unnoticed for 20 years before someone did a quick search on him

A turning point pac sign for the SRP race. It’s promoting Chris Dobson, Barry Paceley, Rusty Kennedy and Kelly Cooper Someone has tagged “FUCK TRUMP” in black paint over the entire sign

TPUSA is putting their weight behind nine SRP officials who have mostly been with SRP for *decades* one of these guys is literally an SRP nepo baby going back to its beginning. So these guys go unnoticed for the most part and it’d be so funny if the TPUSA endorsement is what ends their reigns.

lol not the point but I just realized he tagged a fake gallego account too

fresh off his appearance on a pizzagater, "actually Nick Shirley uncovered big fraud" guy's podcast

not a serious country
