Episode Details

Federal plans to turn a Roxbury warehouse into a 1,500-bed immigrant detention center are back on the table after a surprise legal filing just days after officials said they’d abandon the project. Despite widespread opposition—from the governor to the mayor and a pending state lawsuit over environmental violations—the Department of Homeland Security is reconsidering, citing the need for detention space. Residents, who’ve remained patient and vocal against the plan, say they’re not responsible for the reversal. Work at the site remains halted pending environmental reviews, and the state vows to continue fighting every legal step. The feds insist they’re exploring all options, but for Roxbury, the fight is far from over.
