Let's go to another red part of the country.
Let's go to Oklahoma.
We've previously covered how Trump wants to put a prison camp in Durant, Oklahoma.
We covered how the local government there passed a resolution insisting that they will not allow it.
Now look at Oklahoma City.
27-acre warehouse facility there, where ICE say they want to put a Trump prison cramp in Oklahoma City.
People in Oklahoma City immediately started organizing against it when word of that got out.
They packed into an Oklahoma City council meeting on Tuesday to say no, to say they will not abide it.
No way.
The public comment period, again, went on for hours and hours and hours.
Oklahoma City's mayor gets involved.
He directly contacts the owner
of that facility, owner of the warehouse, to talk them out of selling it to ICE, to turn it into a Trump prison camp.
This past Thursday, the mayor of Oklahoma City announces they are not going to sell.
They are not going to sell that facility to ICE.
There is not going to be a Trump prison camp in Oklahoma City.
Meanwhile, the local press reports that there are almost no other facilities like that in the Oklahoma City area.
So if that one's out, the one ICE wanted, then it's not likely that ICE is going to find any place else like that anywhere near there besides that one.
In other words, it seems like it's pretty much done there, no matter how badly they want it.
On Sunday this weekend, there was a planned protest at the site of that warehouse where ICE was going to put their prison camp in Oklahoma City.
