Show Notes
In Oakwood, Georgia, locals gather for weekly prayer vigils outside two warehouses bought by Homeland Security for an ICE detention center, set to hold up to 1500 detainees. The city learned of the purchase in February, with no contact from ICE or Homeland Security since. The vigils, led by Reverend Dallas Ann Thompson, are peaceful and focused, attended by mostly older white residents. Concerns grow over lack of transparency and potential strain on local resources, as Georgia Senator Raphael Warnock visits Social Circle, home to a larger facility. The vigils are set to continue as the Oakwood site may open, drawing more people to pray for compassion amid uncertainty.
