CV S7 Ep 22: In Plain Sight: Confronting an ICE Prison in Our Community
Episode description
In a busy industrial park just off the freeway in Ferndale exists an unmarked ICE detention facility that has been operating under the radar in Whatcom County since 2018. We first heard about the facility from community members who were held there as part of the Granite Precast ICE raid. In this episode, Rosalinda Guillen, Brenda Bentley, and Liz Darrow talk about how prisons like this are allowed to exist in public spaces without public knowledge, and building the campaign to get ICE OUT of our community.
