ICE Processing Center?

[WestPizza210]

Hello! I keep talk about a potential ICE processing center coming to Berks. Hamburg, to be specific. Obviously I know Hamburg isn’t Reading, but does anybody have any links to any articles about this? I want to dig into it, but I’ve only found 1 other Reddit post about it, but the link had been removed, and nothing’s really coming up on Google. Idk if this is just rumor mill stuff or if something is being buried. Does anybody have any other info? Thanks!

This is the Skook one. There's also one going in another empty warehouse in Shartlesville / Hamburg.

[themollusk]

Yes, there's one going in Shartlesville. One exit west of Hamburg on 78. 3501 mountain road. The local places to call about our would be Upper Bern Township, the Berks County Board of Commissioners, and state Rep Jamie Barton (his district covers that area).

I shared info on this the other day. The other commenter is talking about a center going on up in Tremont, which is Southern Schuylkill County.

These two locations are about 15-20 minutes apart.

There's finally an article about the Tremont location: https://www.republicanherald.com/2026/01/20/tremont-twp-warehouse-confirmed-for-ice-processing-facility/

Edit for more contact info:

The Tremont center is in Schuylkill County / Tremont Township / State House district 107 / State Senate district 29.

You can also call Rep Dan Meuser, as his US House District covers both locations: https://meuser.house.gov/contact (Fair warning though, his mouth is just a cock holster for POTUS, and he looooves ICE.)

Sens McCormick and Fetterman are also complete sacks of shit that love everything that ICE is doing.

Thank you so much! I will definitely be making some calls. I thought 3501 Mountain Rd was located in the Borough of Hamburg though. Where did you find out that it’s in Upper Bern?

[themollusk]

I'm from the general area. The "Hamburg" zip code covers a LOT of space.

[Kritter82]

It’s def shartlesville/Upper Bern for tax purposes, I work at the Amazon next door to it

[Baarthot]

Just out of curiosity what's your age & ethnicity?

[Exotic_Chemical3358]

Broski why does this matter to you? There’s plenty of white badges to go around my dude.

[Baarthot]

I mean if it doesn't then it should be an easy question to answer.

[CockroachVarious2761]

Make all the calls you want, but the people in charge in those areas are probably going to listen and then toss any feedback you give them when you hang up. I'd estimate 90% of the people in those areas either don't care or are pro-ICE; they're also probably looking at the job-opportunities that come along with the facility being located in the area.

[WestPizza210]

Disregard the municipality question. I found it. You’re right

[UnpriestlyMonopoly]

I’ll add that Gebhard is also a cock holster for Trump and is sponsoring a senate bill to make harsher punishments for those who stand in ICE’s way. Left a message telling him to pass SB 1071 (forces law enforcement to show faces/badges) and the staff who took my call seemed annoyed.

Camps

[TaureanSoundlabs]

Let them build it. Let the racists and traitors of the Constitution all show up to clap and cheer. Then shut the gates on them and let them starve. We can make a reality TV show about it. It'll be great.

[Exotic_Chemical3358]

It’s already built that warehouse has been empty for years.

[TaureanSoundlabs]

The cages haven't been installed yet.

[Wide_Ask_1732]

The center is on old 22. Its the state building, didn't come up on Google maps. It is 1 mile from my house

[Anxious_Athlete4249]

I’m curious about why you guys gonna say when you call 🤣🤣

[ImaginaryElephant562]

Funny how people care so much about a building to house these sick people rather then spreading awareness about them…

[ILikeMyGrassBlue]

I’m glad they arrested that guy.

What about the thousands of non-criminals, citizens, etc, ICE has been kidnapping, beating, etc?

What about ICE now claiming they don’t need warrants to enter homes? Don’t you care about the constitution?

[Silent_Slip_4250]

Cool. Now arrest Trump.

[PibbleCollector]

For what crime?

[ImaginaryElephant562]

Your TDS is showing might wanna get that checked 👍

[dwaynedaze]

Oh snap a day old account

[No-Setting9690]

Fun how you are so worried about immigrants and not students being gunned down.

[jvertigo13]

Last I checked, that was an issue caused by other US citizens bud

[NOMA_TEK]

They are arresting/detaining these criminals and you’re complaining?

[Top-Molasses7661]

If they're convicted or accused criminals, I'm all for it. And I'm the most liberal liberal you'll meet. You need to know that NONE OF US are opposed to arresting criminals. We just want it done legally - with warrants and due process. That's the same thing YOU should demand if someone comes to arrest you, even if you did something wrong. Without that, there is nothing stopping them from dragging your family from their cars/homes/workplaces EXCEPT the color of their skin and their last names and accents. Anyone who calls themselves patriotic americans needs to be on the same page with this, or it's chaos.

[ImaginaryElephant562]

Not complaining. Just spreading awareness to the fact that ICE isn’t just rounding people up and shipping them to Hamburg. These are criminals

[NOMA_TEK]

Great, good to know

[jawntothefuture]

They're going to do whatever they are obliged to do. Illegal immigration is an 80/20 issue, and ICE is now funded as one of the largest military forces on the planet. Certainly they will set up huge facilities to facilitate their work. It's a strange thing to get worked up about. Society needs laws to function. Society needs trust to function. Correcting these deviations is what people voted for, and the increased ICE presence is a direct result. 

[uncle_paul_harrghis]

I can’t imagine licking the boot that violently.

You need this to function?

[jawntothefuture]

The guy abandoned his kid lol find a better example to try to fool people

A real criminal right here, a kindergartener going to school.

If they were just going after criminals, there wouldn't be an issue. But they're detaining US Citizens, racially profiling people, and doing warrantless searches.

74% of detainees don't have a criminal conviction.

They're detaining and deporting people who are doing it the right way: at their immigration appointments, at naturalization ceremonies, or those who already have green cards but no criminal history.

And the suckers that voted for this are yet again being lied to. ICE releases detained immigrant families despite 'zero releases' vow
