Bay Area Divided Over ICE Facility | Oakland News

A Bay Area lawsuit to stop construction of a new ICE facility near Gilroy is gaining momentum, with dozens of cities and counties rallying behind it — but two key nearby cities, Gilroy and Morgan Hill, are sitting this one out, sparking frustration among activists. While the legal team argues the project violates environmental laws and local zoning for agriculture, Gilroy’s council passed an opposing resolution but won’t sign the brief, citing budget constraints. Other major tech hubs like San Jose and Palo Alto are stepping up, while critics warn the facility could harm the region’s economy, environment, and social fabric — especially given its proximity to a vital immigrant workforce.
