Well, the fight escalates once again
this morning over an ICE jail in Roxbury.
You might remember the back and forth on this.
The federal government has been pushing
to turn this into an immigration jail.
Right now, it's tied up in the courts
because the town says it's a bad idea,
and this turned into a big issue at last night's council meeting.
Well, those chants taking over the meeting, so did a political activist
who refused to step away from the podium.
Officers intervene. Watch.
And now this case is at the center
of a federal lawsuit over the National Environmental Review.
This is for council business.
I want to make something clear.
I don't care whether you're a Republican or Democrat.
A federal court order is not a suggestion.
The rule of law either applies to everyone or no one.
Well, town leaders then walk out,
reportedly moving to continue their meeting in private.
He's talking about how a judge did order
an environmental review of the site,
but the town has largely been against the jail,
filing a lawsuit to try to stop it,
but there have been reports of ICE using the facility anyway.
