7:14Now PlayingTremont, PA voted for "Mass Deportation." They got a $400,000 tax hike and a prison next door.
In 2024, Schuylkill County voted overwhelmingly for Donald Trump and his hardline immigration policies. Two years later, the federal government is rewarding that loyalty by seizing the town's massive Big Lots distribution center to turn it into an ICE processing facility.
Here is the kicker: Because it is now federal property, the facility will pay $0.00 in property taxes.
In this video, we break down how Tremont Township is losing $400,000 in annual revenue overnight—a devastating blow to their local budget. We also look at the human cost, including a local daycare that now sits just 300 yards away from a detention center capable of holding thousands of detainees.
Is this the "winning" these voters were promised? We look at the numbers, the irony, and the direct financial consequences of right-wing populism hitting home.
