There was a big protest at the offices of that local real estate company.

The mayor of Salt Lake County got involved.

She says publicly that the size of this prison camp that Trump wants to put there, it would hold more people than the entire Utah Department of Corrections.

It would hold more people in that one facility than all Utah state prisons combined.

And that community is not willing to bear that cost.

She said she will use, quote, all available legal and policy avenues, including land use authority, regulatory review, and coordination with local partners to oppose this thing.

Then we get the Salt Lake City mayor involved.

She's contacting the local real estate group that's been getting all these calls and these emails that's having protests at its offices.

It's getting the most pressure and the worst press of its life over its choice to do business with ICE to put a prison camp in their hometown.

Salt Lake City mayor tells them, do not do it.

And this Saturday, this weekend, that local real estate company, the one that owns the warehouse, they put out their own brief to-the-point statement.

We, quote, have no plans to sell or lease the building to ICE or any other federal government agency.

Done in Salt Lake City.
