Not long before being shuttered, the Management and Training Corporation-operated prison hid sexual abuse allegations reported against a staff member. The whistleblower who exposed this, Alex Randall, spoke at tonight’s meeting and criticized the council members “for welcoming MTC with open arms.”

Speakers expressed frustration that the council & DHS has refused to answer even the most basic questions like whether children will be held here. “What do you think people will say about Marana,” one resident asked the council. “It’s where they kidnap your neighbors,” a woman in the crowd shouted.

The few residents that were allowed to speak at the Marana Council meeting tonight criticized town officials for their lack of action and failure to address the concerns about the ICE camp and the open intention to fill it over capacity — some estimates reaching over DOUBLE the originally 550 limit.

“It’s not just a reinstatement of the prison, it’s a mass expansion of it,” one resident said during their public comment tonight. DHS has suggested that the number of people that will be detained at this ICE camp will far exceed the maximum capacity when it was a state prison.

The facility being converted into an ICE camp was the state’s first private prison that shuttered back in 2023 after three decades of operation. The original contractor, Management & Training Corporation will return as they recently signed a $26 million deal with ICE.

Tonight, community members gathered at the Marana Town Council meeting to speak out in opposition to an incoming DHS concentration camp that is likely being opened at the at the end of November. Council members ended up limiting public comment to just 10 people and turned away the rest. Shame.

This guy speaking with Peter Brimelow and Jared Taylor used to do the fashy podcast circuit back in 2015-2017. In 2019 he quit for fear of being outted, but returned in recent years. He should have stayed away.
There are hard truths about being an activist on the right, especially an online activist. Advocating for non-mainstream non-progressive ideas has never been lucrative. This combined with the disapprobation of our contemporary cultural elites, the threat of doxxing, and the general instability of dissident movements have been enough to send many creators packing after only a few years in the fray. In short, the collection of these circumstances has resulted in exactly what the progressive establishment has desired since 2016, the self-censorship of voices who want to express views to the right of mainstream approved opinion.

I suspect the racist "event" we had in PDX over the weekend was some sort of a Scyldings / Old Glory Club / Basketweavers conference. One of the organizers even goes by the handle "Oregon_weaving" For info on these networks: hopenothate.org.uk/who-are-the-... www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
Twitter page for Sir Leif of Oregon (at) Oregon_WeavingThe Basketweavers claim to be an apolitical group that primarily organizes 'social' events, but like their name, this is a ploy to distract outside attention from their far-right politics. Promoted by extremists, antisemitic influencers, the Basketweavers are a deeply racist network whose goals are the radicalization of lonely young men, the creation of a separate society, and ultimately the cultivation of a new elite ....Harry Shulman, a researcher at UK anti-fasxist nonprofit Hope Not Hate, who last month published an expose on the Old Glory Club-affiliated Basketweavers organization in the UK, told The Guardian: "Groups such as the OGC are a new breed of extremist organization which aims first to build an offline social network before taking over society."
