After those protests, the all-Republican local government in Roxbury, New Jersey, passed a resolution saying, no, you are not allowed to build that here.

Down in Texas, Hutchins, Texas, again, a local protest against a proposed ICE prison, followed by the mayor in that city saying they are not going to allow anything like that to be built in Hutchins, Texas.

In New York State, Republican-leaning Orange County, similar story.

Packed town halls, packed public meetings, and then local elected officials saying, no, you will not be allowed to build a prison camp here.

Kansas City, Missouri, after ICE said they wanted to build a prison in KC, the city council passed a five-year ban on building any non-municipal detention facility, any non-city detention facility.

Social Circle, Georgia, local Republican officials saying they will not let ICE turn a vacant warehouse there into a huge prison camp as well.

Protests in Salt Lake City, Utah.

We reported last week on dozens of people turning out in the early morning in deep, dense, cold fog because they heard that ICE was coming to inspect the local warehouse site there as a potential location for a new ICE prison.

Locals then protested a local real estate company that was reportedly handling the potential sale of that site to ICE.

Well, now that local real estate firm has announced this weekend that they have no plans to sell that local warehouse to the federal government for any purpose.

And the list of communities pushing back keeps growing.

Protesting in Hagerstown, Maryland, this past week, Senator Chris Van Hollen and their Congresswoman, April McClain Delaney, in attendance.

In Hudson, Colorado, which is about 35 miles east of Boulder, protesting against a planned ICE prison there.

In Merrimack, New Hampshire, which is a scrappy,

No-nonsense New England town where I've got family ties.

Hundreds of people packed a Merrimack, New Hampshire town meeting denouncing a proposed immigration prison there, and now the Merrimack Town Council has written to state and federal officials opposing that planned facility.

And in the state legislature, Democrats in the New Hampshire state legislature are pushing legislation that would prevent any state or local funds being used for immigration prisons anywhere in the whole state.

In Hanover County, Virginia, watch for this this week.

Residents in Hanover County are preparing to attend their Board of Supervisors meeting the day after tomorrow, this Wednesday, January 28th, to tell their Board of Supervisors that they need to stand against a new immigrant prison facility that is planned for that county as well.

Again, that's Hanover County, Virginia.
