Former Bay Area base on short list for Trump immigration detention camps, report says

YOU WHAT

I don't mean that in a NIMBY way (other than that I don't want this in anyone's backyard because I want it not to exist in the first place). But.. I... WHAT.

U.S. Rep. Mark DeSaulnier, D-Concord, who learned of the memo in the TIME report Friday, said he strongly opposes the plan, calling it, “madness.”

“It’s what you get when you have an administration that doesn’t believe in planning or thoughtfulness,” he told this news organization. “Most of the base has been closed for 15 years. We know the infrastructure is nonexistent.”

ETA: Great. This is apparently a contaminated Superfund site: https://sf.curbed.com/2018/6/25/17498846/immigrant-camp-concord-base-superfund-site-trump-bay-area, which links to https://cumulis.epa.gov/supercpad/SiteProfiles/index.cfm?fuseaction=second.cleanup&id=0902778

East Bay DSA will be protesting this. M8 and I will be there, loud as fuck.

I've since heard this is a contaminated Superfund site? Don't have a specific source right this second - will look tomorrow.
