Reader is ‘hopping mad’ about ICE facility plans

Independent Newsmedia/Charlene Bisson

OPINION — Thank you for covering the travesty of an ICE facility/concentration camp in my town.

The oppression of minorities has reached a new low if we just yank Hispanic-looking people off the street and throw them in jail and let them rot there.

ICE doesn’t even know if they’re American citizens, and doesn’t care less if they find out that they are. They’ll hold them anyway.

Unfortunately, I am disabled and can’t attend the protest, but I’m hopping mad about it.

Not only am I philosophically opposed to this, but from a practical standpoint, if it is really true that these are the worst of the worst criminals, which I doubt, what are we doing putting them in a residential area? It’s way too close to schools, that’s for sure.

Thankfully, we’re getting support from state officials and the national media. Other cities in the U.S. have shut this down. Let’s be the next in line to accomplish the same thing.
