"Federal officials from DHS were eyeing a Kansas City warehouse for one of their next detention facilities for immigrants. The company that owns the Missouri warehouse, Platform Ventures, announced on Thursday that it is not moving forward with the sale." www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
ICE wanted this Kansas City warehouse. The people resisted and won.
"This decision wouldn’t have happened without several weeks of protest and collective action by low-wage workers,” one organizer said.

That’s the reality, City Administrator Kevin Donahue said this week. Some councilmembers and advocates, he added, may not be living in it.

Damn almost like accepting or rejecting court rulings on laws are actually a political choice we can hold the gov to account for damn
So the court rules on trans rights, and the Labour government claims they are powerless, but the court rules on Palestine Action, and the government wants to fight it?
