City Rejects Appeal on ICE Detention Center | Bakersfield News

The California City planning commission has sided with the city’s original approval of the ICE detention center site, denying a last-ditch appeal from activists who argued the facility requires stricter zoning oversight. Despite over fifty protesters rallying against the center — citing past deaths in custody and calling for humane immigration policies — the commission voted 2 to 1 to uphold the plan. City staff maintained the site plan complies with existing zoning, and with CoreCivic now selling the facility to the Department of Homeland Security, officials are already eyeing new revenue streams.
