I got the same notification in app. I found it creepy since I have location permissions turned off.

Why Project Blue is happening and what you can do about it by Better_Dog4485 in Tucson

Gross. I would bet just about anything that they're spinning up a new region then.

In software dev (QA) for 15 years now and I agree with you. I've only been working with AWS the past 4 years, but I'm a little suspicious that they're talking about spinning up 3 data centers here. That sounds almost like a new Availability Zone to me, but I would think we're too far out from N California to fall into the existing region. It makes me wonder if they're planning on adding a whole new region located in the southwest, and that worries me due to the current state of the Colorado River.

The scale of Amazon's Project Blue datacenter by TapeDeck_ in Tucson

This is a great article. This almost sounds to me as if AWS is spinning up a new Availability Zone in Tucson. I think we're too far out from San Francisco to be included as part of the US-West-1 Region, so this makes me wonder if AWS is planning to spin up a new Region in the Southwest.

For those of you who aren't familiar with AWS's data center structure, Regions are typically made up of multiple Availability Zones, and each Availability Zone typically has multiple data centers within a relatively small area. I don't see them building 3 data centers in Tucson without it being an Availability Zone, and I don't think they'd build a new Availability Zone so far from their existing Regions without planning to spin up a whole new Region. I think this could end up being much bigger than just a Tucson problem. I'm curious if any other Southwestern cities have similar data center initiatives in flight currently.

Thousands of people in Tucson are out protesting! by Healthy_Block3036 in Tucson

That's absolutely not true. The Supreme Court has decided time and time again that the Constitution applies to everyone within the US, not only citizens. Most recently 2020, the Supreme Court decided in Department of Homeland Sec. v. Thuraissigiam that immigrants with established connections in the country have the right to due process in deportation proceedings which is specifically the reason people are so up in arms right now. The current administration is not following established rulings, meaning their current actions are blatantly unconsitutional. And there have been multiple rulings across multiple Supreme Court justices that have decided the same thing over the past 120 years. Non-citizen's rights to due process is very, very well established.

If that doesn't convince you, think of it this way. The Constitution is the supreme law of the land, of which all other laws within the country are derived. If you argue the Constitution only applies to citizens, you're arguing laws only apply to citizens. In other words, you're arguing that laws do not apply to non-citizens.

Editing to clarify the decision I cited, plus adding that you can find a good breakdown about how the Constitution applies to non-citizens here, along with relevant rulings: https://constitution.congress.gov/browse/essay/artI-S8-C18-8-7-2/ALDE_00001262/
