Joliet, ICE in talks for possible immigration detention center
(MCT) — Joliet officials are considering a plan to build a detention center for immigrants facing deportation, a proposal similar to one that collapsed this year under pressure from residents who didn't want the facility in south suburban Crete.
Joliet City Manager Tom Thanas attended a meeting with federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials last week in Washington to discuss a proposal for a detention center, officials said. Thanas on Wednesday declined to comment on the meeting.
