So I'm sure that's, yeah, I hope that is positive.

What can local government do or even elected officials do, given that, elected officials on a federal level do, given that ICE just appears to be operating without a great deal of oversight right now?

Yeah, I mean, with each of these warehouses, there are different circumstances around each of them.

I've been really inspired, honestly, by the folks in Maryland who are dealing with a warehouse, maybe multiple warehouses, I'm not sure.

Yeah, I can't remember.

where, you know, at both the local and the state level, they have really pushed for legislation that would effectively, yeah, I mean, prevent these warehouses from existing at all.

It is a different set of facts than what we're working with here in Georgia because there's more involvement by private actors.

And so the government, you know, the local government can regulate them more.

But Maryland is certainly not the only place where...

where those fights are happening.

And so I would really encourage folks to, to, yeah, to learn from Maryland.

And I get, you know, I, I'm talking about, you know, legislation.

I, I mean, I will be the first to tell you as a lawyer that I don't think legal tools will liberate us.

You know, the law will not make us free.

Sure.

Yeah.

And I do think it's the people power, it's the coming together, it's the mass collective action that is...

you know, that's what's going to do it.

And also there are multiple, you know, there are multiple tools and multiple instruments that we can, they can wield.

And so right now, I mean, with respect to the social circle warehouse, ICE is saying that they intend to detain people in there starting in April.
