One of the Georgia towns slated to be the site of a new immigration detention center is suing ICE to stop the effort.
Since officials in Social Circle, east of Atlanta, first learned last year of the intention of Immigration and Customs Enforcement to turn a vacant warehouse near an elementary school into a detention center, they have insisted their water and sewer systems are nowhere near the task of serving the estimated 10,000 detainees ICE plans for the space the agency now owns.
Now the city of 5,000 has sued ICE in Georgia’s middle district federal court, alleging the agency has completely flouted required environmental review of the warehouse detention center project as spelled out in the National Environmental Policy Act.
“Our position is the same as it was last month, two months ago, three months ago, in that it's still going to cause significant problems on our water and sewer infrastructure,” Social Circle City Manager Eric Taylor said.
