Pierce County Council Advances Proposal for Six-Month Moratorium on New Detention Centers
The Pierce County Council is considering a six-month pause on constructing new detention centers, including those for state, county, behavioral health treatment, and federal immigration operations. This move comes as the federal government plans to open a massive new immigration detention center in the Pacific Northwest. The proposal aims to gather community feedback and update local rules on issues like taxes and quality of life. Advocates against immigration detention are supportive of the move, while officials acknowledge potential federal intervention. The full council could vote on the proposal as early as next Tuesday.
