00:00City, state, and federal leaders joined with community members and faith leaders discussing their concerns with ICE operations in a
00:08planned detention center on the east side of town.
00:11It was a packed auditorium in the San Antonio downtown library with conversations about future legislation, the 287G program, and
00:21the effects of immigration enforcement.
00:23That discussion was then interrupted.
00:25It's why ICE can shoot somebody in the back.
00:28Five days ago, my husband. Five days ago. I'm sorry. I'm trying to stay here quiet, but I have a
00:35lot to say, and it covers everything.
00:38Angela Gomez says her husband, Jorge, was taken by ICE in Castroville on Sunday.
00:43He's from Nicaragua, but we have tried very hard many times to do his citizenship, and we always get money
00:50taken from us.
00:51Leaders also expressed concern about a planned ICE warehouse on the east side.
00:55Mayor Gina Ortiz-Jones provided less of an update and more frustration.
01:00Despite many of our requests from the city for additional information on the east side facility, we've been met with
01:09silence.
01:10Hours later, five city council members say they want a special session, resulting in an independent assessment of the facility.
01:18That statement says, in part, the facility will not only be harmful to our residents, but also to our infrastructure
01:24and environment.
01:26The letter says the federal government must do an environmental study of the facility, in line with the National Environmental
01:32Policy Act.
