In a conservative town in the United States, residents are grappling with the potential establishment of an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention center. The town council of Redwood Falls, located in the state of Texas, has been in talks with federal authorities regarding the construction of a new facility that would house individuals detained for immigration violations.
