ICE HOLDING FACILITY IN LOCAL BUFFALO HOTEL!  Posted by Buffalo Latino Village:    We keep reading about the Westin Hotels & Resorts  in Buffalo being used as an ICE holding facility. So, one of our writers had to go and found that 250 Delaware is also ICE’s field office in the same building.  So when you put a federal enforcement office and a luxury hotel under one roof and refuse to be transparent about where people are being held, you create the perfect setup for “we’re not a detention site” while still kidnapping people through the building.    We are not saying people other than the politicians have seen the documents proving the Westin is a holding center,  but what we are saying is that the government’s secrecy and the way these operations work make it completely believable that parts of that complex are being used to hold kidnapped people, even briefly.   Buffalo is a Democratic city, if local and state Democrats wanted these raids and hidden holding sites shut down, they have tools, platforms, and leverage to fight it, but elections are coming up and they are choosing not to.  Governing through fear, silence, and confusion is easier than protecting immigrants and standing up to federal agencies.  People should start contacting the local and state elected officials.    Why would the Westin or Delaware North become an ICE holding facility? Don’t ICE holding facilities require GOVERNMENT CONTRACTS?  Who at the local and State level dealt or deals with Delaware North and would be incentiviced to have this be a ICE field office and holding center? Who benefits from this?  Isn’t Kathy Hochul husband a VP at Delaware North? Why are we still pretending our hands are tied when we witness the brutalization of an entire demographic?    Why are your taxes being used to brutalize and terrorize children when your own are going hungry? Your houses are burning down? Your roads are going to shit? Your buildings are falling apart around you? But politicians keep getting wealthy at your expense and blaming those that cannot defend themselves for the chaos and decay they have created.   Wake tf up. Start asking question!!!! #avoicelessvoice #daniasays #ice #westinbuffalo #delawarenorth #icefieldoffice
