Georgia town’s novel strategy to fight ICE jail plan impresses legal experts
The town of Social Circle in Georgia filed a federal lawsuit against the Trump administration's plan to convert a warehouse into a large immigration detention center, using a 'public nuisance' legal argument that experts believe could influence other localities. The lawsuit also highlights the lack of environmental impact assessments required by the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA).
