Here's one thing this week to watch in city hall... a presentation in the Planning & Public Safety Committee on how the Fayette County Detention Center cooperates with Immigration & Customs Enforcement (ICE).
Watch this meeting live on LexTV on Tuesday, February 2 at 1:00pm
Why should you care?
You should care about this if you are interested in the relationship between the City of Lexington and the federal Immigration and Custom's Enforcement (ICE) agency. A history of controversy has long surrounded ICE. As ICE's tactics have fallen under increased scrutiny in the past decade, pressure has mounted on cities to review how they cooperate with the agency. Cities from Birmingham, Alabama to Portland, Oregon, have either refused to work with the agency or have made significant changes to how their relationship works. This presentation will detail the relationship between the City of Lexington and ICE.
Plus: That thing, last week - Will the City of Lexington sell some of its properties? - and more updates from city hall.
