It adds, “additionally, to collaborate with the County of El Paso and El Paso Water to support this measure.”.

When news broke that ICE officials were considering repurposing a warehouse to house an ICE detention facility, Orlando city officials looked at ways to keep the facility out of the city.

Last month, Kansas City’s City Council passed a five-year moratorium banning the licensing or permitting of any detention facility that is not owned by the city.

The moratorium essentially blocks anyone, except the city, from building or repurposing a detention facility to hold immigrants by ICE.

The Oklahoma City council last week listened to community members asking them to stop a planned ICE facility in the city.

He added that although he is “not aware of any specific plans for ICE to locate a detention facility within the El Paso city limits,” he has noted “lots of coverage of the large facility they are planning at a warehouse in El Paso County.”

Canales was referring to a three-building warehouse facility in Socorro that is rumored to be under consideration for an ICE detention facility. »
