[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think I read someplace they're also setting up detention centers in central Virginia, possibly the Richmond area.

Hagerstown has turned into a crime-ridden hellscape. Commerce has left that area. There's a big jail complex just outside of town. When inmates get released, they often linger in the area. That jail system has really hurt that town. If something isn't nailed down, it gets stolen. Residents are not amused, but what can they do?

Maybe Van Hollen can turn his attention to ongoing crime in Hagerstown in addition to "sexy" news like a detention centers for illegal aliens. Taxpayers could really use a helping hand from someone they elected to office. So far - zero, zilch, nada, nothing. But he sure was eager to help Abrego-Garcia, an MS-13 gang banger. [/quote]
I went on Van Hollen’s website and found dozens of federal grants and funding awards that his office helped provide for Hagerstown. This took me two minutes to do.

Here’s a sampling:
