Following his original letter to former Department of Homeland Security
(DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem, U.S. Senator John Fetterman (D-PA) today
sent a letter to DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin reiterating his
opposition to the proposed U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement
(ICE) detention centers in Pennsylvania.

oWhile I have been clear in my support for the enforcement of federal immigration law, this decision will do significant damage to these local
tax bases, set back decades-long efforts to boost economic development,
and place undue burdens on limited existing infrastructure in these communities,o wrote Senator Fetterman.

The proposed conversion of the facilities in Tremont Township and Upper
Bern Township, without input from local or state officials, includes transforming them into 7,500- and 1,500-bed detention centers,
respectively. Both townships do not currently have the capacity to meet
the demands of these detention centers, with Tremont Township officials
stating the proposed 7,500-bed detention facility would quadruple the
existing burden on their public infrastructure system.

Detention facilities impose unique and substantial demands, particularly adequate access to existing water and sewage systems, an increased
demand on local electrical grids, the capacity of local law enforcement
and EMS, and proximity to appropriate medical facilities.

oAdditionally, the acquisition of these facilities by the federal
government represents a combined loss of over $1.6M in local tax revenue
per year for Schuylkill and Berks counties. This loss of vital tax
dollars compounds concerns over the ability of these municipalities to
meet the infrastructure needs of these facilities and would place undue
strain upon the budgets of local governments and school districts in the region,o continued the senator.

November 5, 2024 - Congratulations President Donald Trump. We look
forward to America being great again.

We live in a time where intelligent people are being silenced so that
stupid people won't be offended.

Every day is an IQ test. Some pass, some, not so much.

Thank you for cleaning up the disasters of the 2008-2017, 2020-2024 Obama
/ Biden / Harris fiascos, President Trump.

Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the
The World According To Garp. Obama sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood
queer liberal democrat donors.
