Makes her feel like being at home I bet with her puppies and goats.

Yes, we need to know what they are for.

1. Maybe it's a new swimming pool going in?

[canetoad]

2. I thought so too

But suspect it's really for sewage storage or processing.

3. Actual concentration camps.

Jeezus kryst, people.

4. Why do the pedophiles need their own concentration camps?

5. SHUT IT DOWN!

Camp East Montana was opened on 17 August 2025. During its first 50 days, conditions at the camp violated at least 60 federal standards, according to ICE's own detention oversight unit.[5] The ACLU and other human-rights organizations called for its closure after interviewed detainees reported "physical and sexual abuse, medical neglect, and intimidation to self-deport".[6][7][8]

Two inmates have reported having their testicles crushed by guards as a form of punishment.[9]

As of January 2026, three detainees have died there in a period of 44 days.[10] An autopsy ruled the death of Geraldo Lunas Campos as a homicide caused by asphyxia. ICE officials stated that his death was a suicide while in solitary confinement, but witnesses told press that he had been handcuffed and choked by guards before his death.[11][12] Individuals attempting to visit detainees from Minneapolis, where Lunas Campos had been detained, were told those inmates were no longer allowed to have visitors.[13]

On January 14, Victor Manuel Diaz died while detained at Camp East Montana, said by ICE to be due to "presumed suicide".[14] Unlike the previous two detainees who had autopsies performed by the local county medical examiner, Diaz's body was transferred to the William Beaumont Army Medical Center under the jurisdiction of the federal government.[14][15]

6. My guess is a detention/retention pond(s) for drainage from all that new roof area.

The runoff from a storm event has to get too and stay somewhere.

7. As much as we may want this to be nefarious, it is likely a water retention pond.

The rest of the of the compound though, is fucking horrible.
