A congressman in southeastern Pennsylvania says no ICE detention facilities are planned for his district.
U.S. Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick says his office was assured by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement that they have no plans or intentions of opening an ICE detention facility within Pa.’s 1st congressional district, which includes Bucks County and a small part of Montgomery County.
Fitzpatrick says his position remains that no ICE detention facility be located in his district, and if one were being considered, he would oppose those efforts.
His office will continue monitoring federal developments affecting the district, Fitzpatrick says.
