Sen. Camilleri responds to rumored Romulus ICE detention center

Following reports that a Romulus warehouse facility could be converted into an ICE detention center, state Sen. Darrin Camilleri, D-Trenton, offered the following statement:
“Since these reports have begun to circulate, I’ve stayed in conversation with the City of Romulus, our members of Congress, and other elected leaders about the possibility of an ICE detention facility coming to our community.
“I want to emphasize that based on my conversations, there is no concrete evidence at this time of any facility in Romulus being used or developed into a detainment center.
“But let me be clear, Romulus and our surrounding communities do not want to see our neighbors detained and held unlawfully, whether it be in my district or anywhere else, and we will fight back with every tool at our disposal to stop it.
“The inhumane and criminal behavior of this agency should not be allowed to continue to inflict terror on immigrants, let alone doing so in our community.”
Sen. Camilleri’s District 4 includes the city of Belleville, Van Buren Township, and Sumpter Township.
