Town of Social Circle’s complaint invokes ‘public nuisance’ law that scholars say could have impact for other localities
A small Georgia town’s federal lawsuit opposing the Trump administration’s plans to turn a warehouse into one of the largest immigration detention centers in the US has the potential to create a wide impact as it uses novel legal arguments, experts said.
The town of Social Circle’s complaint goes further than other recently filed lawsuits around the same issues, which assert that the US federal government has not carried out environmental impact assessments for proposed detention centers, as required by the National Environmental Policy Act (Nepa).
The town’s lawsuit goes on to allege that the homeland security department and ICE have also violated the federal Administrative Procedures Act (APA) – which “requires reasoned decision-making by federal agencies, including consideration of adversely affected interests and any reasonable alternatives”, according to the complaint.
these dickheads voted for this and now want to avoid the consequences of the fascists they put into power.
Not everyone in the south voted for Trump.
"Additionally, the small town sits in a county where nearly 75% voted for Trump. "
they overwhelmingly did.
So fuck the 25+ percent who didn’t vote for Trump and were powerless to keep him out of office?
this is why I moved from the south. when you wake up in nazi germany, you either start learning to heil or you start mapping your exit.
Well, hopefully, this is a sign that they didn’t want death camps and race war.
Reasonable assumption.
Unfortunately, they won’t walk away from the party for this, but they might sit the next vote out.
Yeah, fuck anyone trying to clean up their mess! THIS SPILLED MILK STAYS ON THE GROUND!
I probably need an /s, right?
