Thank you to Howard County State’s Attorney Rich Gibson for joining us this evening to speak about the Constitution and the Bill of Rights and how they protect us in these times. We had a fantastic discussion and appreciate your thoughtful explanations.

Jim Pattison won't sell U.S. warehouse proposed as new ICE facility | CBC News Jim Pattison Developments has announced it will not sell an industrial building in Ashland, Va., that was set to be turned into an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) processing facility.

Turns out that you can simply chose not to sell your warehouse and prevent it from becoming a detention center
