Planned ICE immigration detention facility at former Marana prison

Fourteen residents begged the council to block a potential ICE detention facility, citing human rights abuses, community safety, and Marana's reputation. Mayor Post said no council member supports it, but argued the town's hands are tied because a denial would invite a lawsuit starting around $15 million — and he won't put it on a future agenda.
