Rep. Tabke’s statement on the cancellation of ICE’s proposed detention facility in Shakopee
Shakopee, MN - After swift and decisive community action, Opus Group has decided against leasing its River Valley Business Park in Shakopee to the federal government as an ICE detention facility.
State Representative Brad Tabke (DFL - Shakopee), who first shared the news of the potential facility only yesterday, released the following statement:
“It’s not often these days that we get good news this fast, but that’s the power of community here in Shakopee. I’m so incredibly proud of all our neighbors who took up the call in such a short amount of time to let it be known that ICE in Shakopee is not OK.
“This is a step in the right direction and it should be celebrated, but Shakopee won’t be the last place ICE tries to establish a detention facility. More work remains to protect our immigrant neighbors, to strengthen our communities, and to get ICE out of Minnesota.”
