It is important to note that within a few months, SW Charter School will be moving within 100 feet from the proposed ICE Detention Center.  

I have 3 small children who attend this school. Because there seems to be so many unknown variables, including detainees being held for sexual violations, I think it would be extremely unfortunate and unwise for the city to allow this!

Who can imagine a city allowing a a detention center for criminals being within 100 feet of an elementary school?

Does this have anything to do with the proposed armed detention center (operated for Homeland Security) on South Waterfront that will be 100 feet away from SWcharter elementary school?

The Immigration Customs Enforcement (ICE) will be holding at least 15 people a day. The concern is that it is carelessly being crafted right near an elementary school.
