it's a secure fenced in federal complex with armed military guards. It's surrounded by sketchiness but it is separated.

Noem's security excuse is a stretch. She's exaggerating the danger. She just wants to speed up development of that area. The historic preservation part is taking forever. They were doing construction there 10 years ago when I was there, with no end in sight. She has also paused some other construction projects this year that were half built. So she's planning something and is probably frustrated with the slow pace so far.

MAGA likes to move fast and break things. Demolition is fast.
