Buckley Space Force Base in Aurora, Colorado, will be used as a temporary holding location for undocumented immigrants by ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement). Rep. Jason Crow expressed concern about the base being used for mass deportation efforts, stating that it dishonors the service of troops. He also emphasized that while violent criminals have no place in communities, the president's mass deportations threaten to target innocent individuals.
Signs greet personnel at the south entrance to Buckley Space Force Base in Aurora on Friday, July 30, 2021. ICE set up a “temporary operations center, staging area and a temporary holding location for the receiving, holding and processing” of detainees, military officials said in the statement.
“Let me be clear: If someone, regardless of immigration status, is committing violent crimes, they have no place in our communities,” Crow said in an emailed statement. “However, the president’s mass deportations are threatening to go after our neighbors, family members, business owners and friends in order to create a narrative that most immigrants are violent criminals. This is simply not true.”
