What's CITY Talking About
SLC Mayor Condemns ICE Warehouse
Salt Lake City Mayor Erin Mendenhall said she strongly opposes the federal government’s plan to use a west-side warehouse as an ICE detention facility, calling it inhumane and incompatible with the city’s values. In her statement, she said the city is reviewing zoning and legal options to try to block the project. [Salt Lake City]
