Georgia Town Sues Trump Administration Over Massive ICE Detention Center Plan

Social Circle — a town of about 5,000 people roughly 45 miles east of Atlanta — filed suit Wednesday against ICE, the Department of Homeland Security, DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin, and the acting ICE director over plans to build a large immigration detention center near the town. The complaint is the latest in a string of local legal challenges to the administration’s rapid detention expansion, brought by jurisdictions objecting to facilities planned without local input.
