Leaders in South Carolina are responding to the news of an ICE office in downtown Columbia.
Lt. Gov. Pamela Evette responded to the news of Immigration and Customs Enforcement coming to the Midlands with a post on ‘X’.
Evette says “the new ICE office in downtown Columbia strengthens our commitment to keeping sanctuary cities and illegal immigrants out of the state”.
Evette also stated that law and order in South Carolina isn’t optional.
City of Columbia’s Councilman at-large Tyler Bailey released a state on the news with a post on Facebook. His post on Facebook made mention of the federal government signing a secret 10-year lease to open an ICE office in Downtown Columbia, and not telling any city leader. Representative Hamilton R. Grant released a statement about the information of ICE coming to Columbia. Grant made his feelings known about the decision in a post.
