Conservative US town grapples with potential ICE detention centre
In February, the Department of Homeland Security purchased an empty warehouse for more than $128m in Social Circle, Georgia that it could turn into a detention centre. The planned centre would house 10,000 people and triple the population of Social Circle.
Residents, including some who support President Donald Trump's mass deportation policy, have rejected the plan.
Incoming DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin has put on hold any new warehouse purchases to house immigrants, but plans for acquired facilities are unclear.
The BBC's Madeline Halpert talked to residents about their concerns.
