I am strongly opposed to the purchase of this warehouse that, frankly, should be used for economic development in Berks County. I'm strongly opposed to it being used for an ICE detention center. We are exploring what legal options we may have to stop it. I think those options are fairly slim given that the federal government is the purchaser. But I've been heartened by the fact that, you know, the Republican county commissioner there, Christian Linebach, and others have spoken out against this. (27:35–27:41)
