City righteous in suing to stop ICE detention center on East Side
The Rev. Gustavo García-Siller, archbishop of San Antonio, applauds the city of San Antonio for suing to block an immigrant detention center on the East Side. The city of San Antonio has filed a lawsuit against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) for a proposed processing facility on its East Side. The 640,000-square-foot warehouse could hold up to 1,500 beds and has raised concerns that it will negatively impact the city's sewage and water systems. The city alleges that the warehouse was designed for commercial goods, not for human residence, and ICE has been purchasing warehouses nationwide to convert them into immigration detention and processing centers. The lawsuit criticizes the federal government for ignoring environmental assessments or local permits. ICE detention centers have been cited for unsanitary conditions, lack of basic care, and instances of violence and death. The church has called for the use of detention to be minimized, not expanded, and for alternatives to detention.
