That is Wednesday this week.

And while that is gonna happen in a couple of days, there's also just a ton of news to report about other confrontations sort of of this type, other confrontations, other opposition that's being stood up against Trump right now and how those things are starting to pay off all over the country.

So let's start tonight in Hutchins, Texas, which is just outside Dallas.

Hutchins, Texas is one of the places where they've been trying to put a huge new Trump prison camp.

Well, tonight, Hutchins has its regularly scheduled city council meeting.

Local news stations in the Dallas area were planning to send camera crews and reporters to this city council meeting in Hutchins because they were expecting another fiery night of protest and anger and emotional opposition to this prison camp that Trump was trying to put up in this Texas town.

You might remember our previous coverage of how up in arms everybody was in this town in Texas, saying they did not want one of these prison camps there.

Well, today, in advance of this city council meeting tonight, the company that owns the warehouse in Hutchins that ICE was going to buy to turn into a prison camp, that company announced that they will not sell that warehouse to the Trump administration so the Trump administration can turn it into a prison camp.

They won't sell.

The Hutchins mayor telling the Dallas Morning News, quote, "...God answered our prayers."

The mayor, in a statement, thanked the company for deciding they wouldn't sell their property to ICE.

He said, quote, we look forward to working with this company to find a tenant that is a good fit for the city of Hutchins.

The mayor also, in a statement to WFAA, the local ABC station, he thanked everybody in his town.

He thanked everybody in Hutchins who protested and spoke out and said they wouldn't stand for this prison camp.

He said, quote, Your concerns did not go unnoticed, and your professional decorum shown during our city council meetings, as well as the protest here at City Hall, is much appreciated.

Thank you for protesting me here at City Hall.

I agree with you.

It helps to have you protest here.

Thank you.

The mayor of Hutchins, Texas, kind of showing how it's done in terms of respecting the First Amendment.
