But the organizers instead turned it into a celebration of the fact that local residents turned that around.

And it's not going to happen.

People's voices are important.

Oklahoma City residents celebrate victory over proposed ICE facility.

A planned site visit for contractors to eyeball a site in San Antonio.

That could be a Trump prison camp.

That site visit was cancelled when the date rolled around and the site was filled with protesters just waiting for ICE and the proposed contractors to arrive.

In Merrimack, New Hampshire, 1,200 people showed up at a planning meeting in their town to tell their local government, no way, they will not allow a Trump prison camp there either.

Social Circle, Georgia, we talked about this last week.

Social Circle, Georgia has a population of 5,000 people.

Trump wants to put a prison camp there that would hold 10,000 people, twice the size of the town.

The town is protesting.

Their local government has told the press and the Trump administration that their sewer and water capacity is maxed out already in town.

And so not only is one of these prison camps not wanted, it is literally impossible to site it there.

And that matters, because even if the federal government can legally try to force a local community into accepting a federal facility, it can't force them to build new sewers or water sources or roads to handle that kind of facility.

That same kind of argument is now operative in Roxbury, New Jersey, where, as we have reported in previous weeks, the all-Republican local government in Roxbury passed a resolution saying, no, do not put one of your Trump prison camps here.

Local residents are worried that that resolution isn't enough, that the Trump administration will still try to put a prison camp in Roxbury, New Jersey, anyway.

They are still fighting tooth and nail to stop it, even as the local government says that just in terms of things like sewer and water, it is not possible for it to be there.

In Kansas City, Missouri, we're going to talk with the mayor of Kansas City tonight here on this show.

In Kansas City, they passed a five-year moratorium on any non-municipal detention facility of any kind being built in Kansas City.
