Does anybody know the facility Paul Craig Roberts is talking about?
...

Fearful of American citizens, the US government is building concentration camps, apparently all over the country. According to news reports, a $385 million US government contract was given by the Bush/Cheney Regime to Cheney’s company, Halliburton, to build “detention centers” in the US. The corporate media never explained for whom the detention centers are intended.

Most Americans dismiss such reports. “It can’t happen here.” However, In northeastern Florida not far from Tallahassee, I have seen what might be one of these camps. There is a building inside a huge open area fenced with razor wire. There is no one there and no signs. The facility appears new and unused and does not look like an abandoned prisoner work camp.

1. Searching....
"FEMA dentention center Florida" brings up something called Camp Krome, but there was conflicting information on the location. One possibility was near Pensacola, not too far west of Tallahassee.

3. Krome detention center
The Border Patrol/ICE runs this facility outside Miami (off Krome Avenue, which runs along the western edge of development in Dade County). It's for immigrants awaiting deportation hearings.

2. Northeastern Florida and "near Tallahassee" are not things I would group
Northeastern Florida would be Jacksonville. Tallahassee would be southern Alabama.
