a large and passionate crowd turned out in the cold last night
speakers, chanters, singers, hot cider, flags, signs, hand warmers
even a counter-protester
before the city council met
some community members
spoke at the meeting
the Romulus city council
unanimously approved a resolution
against a planned ICE detention center
in which they outbid an auto supply company
to purchase a vacant building in the city
during the meeting
the mayor said the city will not issue a permit or a certificate of occupancy
unless mandated by a federal judge to do so
next step is to take it to the state
power of the people.

YES, power to the people – don’t give up. I love that ‘internal fight’ – you won’t need (another) ICE building.
