Georgia Senate Resolution commending the City of Social Circle for opposing a proposed federal immigration detention facility planned for their community

Proposed facility would be one of the largest detention centers in the United States, funded with billions of federal dollars, and would triple Social Circle's population

Facility location is less than one mile from an elementary school, raising concerns about safety, traffic, water/sewer infrastructure strain, and law enforcement capacity

Resolution frames the city's opposition as defense of local sovereignty against federal overreach, citing principles of federalism and limited government

Directs the Secretary of the Senate to provide a copy of the resolution to the Mayor and City Council of Social Circle
