Mac Gordon: Wicker derails ICE detention center

Daily Recap hcs

3 weeks 6 days ago

Roger Wicker, this state’s senior member of the U.S. Senate, is suddenly a hero to many Mississippians for his tough stance against an ICE detention center that a federal agency had proposed for the hamlet of Byhalia in the state’s northeast corner. I agree that Sen. Wicker deserves a round of thanks. The Republican lashed out against the Trump administration’s proposal to create the facility, and they have pretty much since shelved the idea. Minds can change, but it seems final for now that the facility will go elsewhere. Godspeed! Watch that swingin’ door behind you.

House Bill 4074 passed 101-10, a surprisingly large margin, especially when you recall that the much-hyped school choice legislation got through the House by only two votes before dying in a Senate committee.
