do what is right.

Posted on by

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.

  17. One of the things not being investigated is who will be running these detention centers…private prisons have become a booming industry in the Republican administrations, and the people making billions from the US government are all far-right – these centers are another cash grab from the American people.

  20. Kudos to the Romulus City Council and to all the protesters. Thank you for standing up for what is right and necessary. Just a note to all of your readers that ICE is still active in Minnesota, especially in places outside the metro. They are getting sneakier, more deceptive, posing as construction workers, delivery drivers, even the press. Remain vigilant and continue to protest. I don’t want any other state to experience what we have here in Minnesota.

    • they have taken the first step and the way the deal was set up was underhanded so hopefully we can make a difference and have it stopped. I have heard about what is going on in Minnesota now, and that a whole other level of deceit and incredibly horrible behavior by ICE, it is far from over. Thank you for keeping us in the loop.
