In Firestone Colorado, on Puritan Way, an ICE facility has been spotted. Tucked back in a corner, this facility covers a multitude of areas. The list includes: Counties of Broomfield, Boulder, Larimer, Weld, Morgan, Logan, Washington, Yuma, Phillips, Sedgwick, Kit Carson, Cheyenne. In such a small town, such as Firestone, this large-scale operation can be perceived as a threat for local residents. Especially with ICE operations and proceedings when it comes to them handling residents being criticized so commonly.
Their main mission is to “Protect America through criminal investigations and enforcing immigration laws to preserve national security and public safety”, with opinions being so divided nowadays, this message has been blurred and warped by both sides of the political aisle.
Some perceive ICE’s main mission to be ripping families away from each other, due to the illegal aspect of some of their nonexistent documents. Others think it is restoring peace and order back into America. Both sides believe their side to be right, but what are the implications for residents living near an ICE facility?…
