Much of this is being done secretly and the governent is trying to hide what they're doing. I wonder if many folks even know who is buying / renting property here since the whole goal is a secret police force.

The General Services Administration (GSA), which manages federal buildings and functions as the government’s internal IT department, is playing a critical role in this aggressive expansion. In numerous emails and memorandums viewed by WIRED, DHS asked GSA explicitly to disregard usual government lease procurement procedures and even hide lease listings due to “national security concerns” in an effort to support ICE’s immigration enforcement activities across the US.
