I don’t think assuming that NIMBYs don’t want something in “their backyard” for moral reasons is the right take. NIMBYs by definition are selfish and just don’t want whatever it is near them. It’s “Not In My BackYard”.
The places in these red states are probably more than happy to have some more ICE mega-prisons, just in somebody else’s backyard.
