Kansas City ICE Facility 'Done Deal' Despite Jail Moratorium?!?

What we know for certain . . .

KANSAS CITY SEEMS READY TO ENGAGE IN AN EPIC LEGAL BATTLE TO PREVENT ICE FROM ESTABLISHING A DETENTION FACILITY INSIDE CITY LIMITS!!!

Newsies have had trouble explaining to locals that "the Supremacy clause" might not work in the likely event that a contractor is charged with fulfilling a local bid. 

As we noted along with more celebrated newsies . . . The bright side is that it's really nice locals are learning about the Supremacy Clause after Missouri hoped to defy the feds on gun crackdowns when Prez Biden was in charge. 

Reality check . . .

Word to the ghost of former Prez Reagan's monkey co-star . . . 

Diving into the weeds of muni-code zoning regulation has never been a strength of federal action from either party and end result is government movement at a glacial pace no matter the merit of any project.

Nevertheless . . .

The feds have garnered control of the building as local journalists report without the kind of snarky context that makes our blogging adventures so darn lovable . . . Here's what one of our many betters notes: 

"It appears the sale of a massive south Kansas City warehouse for use as an immigrant detention center that would house as many as 7,500 people is all but a done deal."

Even more context . . . 

Port KC said that it wasn’t in a position to prevent the sale of the warehouse.

“Port KC has very limited ability to disallow a sale of the facility,” it said in a statement. “Under no circumstances would Port KC offer any development support to a use that is not consistent with our mission to bring quality industrial and logistics jobs to the community.”
