I wanted to continue to keep you updated on the ICE facility rumors about a processing center coming to our town. I write rumor because as of today, it’s just that. A rumor. I have written a letter to ICE/DHS and will post what their response is if I hear back. The FBI and even Congressman Frank J. Mrvan’s office has no word on the facility. Posted below is a copy of the actual letter that was sent this week.
Next week, the Town Council will consider a resolution ‘Opposing The Locating of a United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement Processing Or Detention Facility In Warehouses Within The Town Of Merrillville’.
We will keep residents informed as more information becomes available.
Rick Bella, Town Council President, Ward 5 Representative
