Social Circle, a small town in Georgia, is complaining that a proposed ICE “megacenter” would violate the state’s “public nuisance” law – meaning it would harm the “health, safety, and wellbeing” of the town’s 5,000 or so residents.
The town has filed a federal lawsuit challenging the plan, and aspects of the complaint show Social Circle “is willing to pursue a new legal theory to defend their rights, to defend their town”, said Adam Lauridsen, one of the plaintiff’s attorneys. Social Circle is located in a county where nearly 75% voted for Trump.
