So how are people opposing this?

Well, it's been really inspiring for me to see these local leaders who, again, many of whom have never been involved in activism or organizing before.

They've been very consistent in holding demonstrations,

on a weekly basis at the site of this facility and have garnered the attention of different media who have come and interviewed them.

So that's been one way that they've been trying to get their message out there.

I was just talking about the residents who are concerned from a sort of fiscal perspective and are concerned about their own property values and things like that.

But

Yeah.

Right.

Right.

suggesting, you know, implying that there are some places that are suitable for a detention center.

But there are a fair number of people in this community who are opposed to detention centers in general.

I mean, they see the violence that ICE is inflicting

in broad daylight on public streets.

And I think they're horrified and they don't want to be complicit in something like that, you know, coming to their community.

And I do think that along the way, I'm seeing more of a shift in the consciousness of,

or at least an openness to understanding the different influences that bring us to the same table.

That's cool.

Yeah, it is.

It has been very cool.
