Show Notes
Thurston County Commissioners propose a six-month moratorium on federal detention centers, following a wave of local resistance to Trumps immigration policies. Commissioner Carolina Mejia, an immigrant from Honduras, champions the ordinance to protect families and community trust. ICE has no new centers planned in Washington state, focusing on expansions at existing facilities after receiving substantial federal funding. Mejia also suggests a separate ordinance to restrict ICE operations on county property, but its not yet on the agenda.
