…that they were trying to acquire suitable sites for detentions near airports. One community in Oregon had raised a big stink and blocked the one there, near a regional airport. Around that time, there was an article (maybe in The Atlantic? but I’m guessing about the source) that they were shipping detainees around the U.S. quite a bit, apparently to try and “lose” them from judicial scrutiny. The item about contractors recently buying used passenger planes I saw in a DU thread a couple days ago.

Sorry that I don’t have any specific details.
