What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The City of San Antonio filed a lawsuit in federal court against the U.S. Department of Homeland Security on Tuesday morning regarding a planned 1,500-person immigration detention facility on the East Side. The city is seeking to vacate the facility's purchase and the contract to convert the warehouse, demanding a halt to all activity until compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act is met. The city will also seek a temporary injunction against the project.
