After community members fought back and actively opposed a proposed immigrant detention center in Elkhart County, Indiana, CoreCivic officially withdrew its proposal on January 22. This victory was due to the great power communities have when they stand up against injustice. NIJC Assistant Director of Legal Services Lisa Koop, President of Elkhart County Board of Commissioners Mike Yoder, and Director of Corporate and Foundation Relations at Goshen College Richard Aguirre spoke on the Michiana show, Politically Speaking to discuss the CoreCivic proposal and withdrawing thereof.
