Local opposition, though, in Hutchins has stopped a Trump prison camp from being built in that Texas town.

People who were against it, the whole town was against it.

They stopped it.

Same thing just happened in Kansas City, Missouri.

For the past few weeks, we've been covering local opposition in Kansas City, people there protesting, turning out to local meetings, pressuring people every way they can, people saying, we will not stand for a Trump prison camp being built in Kansas City.

The local press, including the Kansas City Star,

documenting in detail the incredible pressure being brought to bear, not just against the Trump administration, but against the local company that stood to profit from selling this Kansas City facility to the Trump administration so they could turn it into a prison camp.

We had Kansas City's mayor, Quinton Lucas, here on the show talking about how he and Kansas City would do everything in their power to stop a prison camp from being built in their city.

Well, now they have won that fight as well.

Hutchins, Texas won.

Kansas City, Missouri has just won.

The local company that was gonna do the sale of that facility in Kansas City decided, after all, they are not gonna do it.

The mayor says that is good news, and they're not letting down their guard.

He credits all the local opposition for having stopped that sale.

He says now it's Kansas City's job to make sure that Trump can't find anywhere else in their town to try it anywhere else.

We're seeing stories like this pay off all over the country.

In New Jersey, this is a low-profile story, but it's the same dynamic.

New Jersey local opposition concerted local pressure, led to a New Jersey company saying it would turn down a contract to build out vans for ICE, vans for transporting their prisoners.

In Delaware, we've also just learned that a company that contracts with ICE, a company called Daedalus Aviation, they will not be taking airplane hangar space at the Wilmington Airport in Delaware.

This is a company that makes their money from ICE.
