It\u2019s critical that at this moment we stand united and send a clear message to this administration; this detention center is not welcome in Romulus or anywhere across our state.<\/p>\n<p><\/span><span class=\"x_elementToProof\">\u201cI\u2019ve been working with local, state, and federal leaders since reporting on this first began, and we will be using every tool available to keep this facility from coming into our neighborhoods. Make no mistake; ICE is not creating this detention center to keep our communities safe. This facility will undermine the work of our local law enforcement, ship in masked agents, and foment chaos throughout our region.<\/p>\n<p><\/span><span class=\"x_elementToProof\">\u201cFor the last year,\u00a0we\u2019ve\u00a0read\u00a0report\u00a0after report detailing the awful conditions that those held in ICE custody are subjected to every day. We find ourselves at this crossroads where we must decide if\u00a0we\u2019ll\u00a0permit\u00a0the inhumane immigration policies of Donald Trump and\u00a0Kristi Noem or\u00a0stand up and prevent the chaos that has already\u00a0impacted\u00a0the lives of so many across our state and our nation.
