ICE detention center could come to Bradford County

In Bradford County, some residents are pushing back against the idea of an ICE detention center.

City commissioners have proposed converting a Starke warehouse — near a Walmart — into the facility.

They're still waiting to see if ICE will accept their proposal. In the meantime, a small group of residents gathered on Saturday to protest the plan.
