Let's Welcome a Detention Center

Word is, federal officials want to open an immigrant detention center in Salt Lake City. Okay, let's build it. Let's have a detention center in Utah. But let's make it a place where detainees are treated well and with respect. More than that, let's require that such a center be transparent, with the names, statuses, and court dates of detainees available. Don't let them build unless they agree to this. No, let's go a step further and require that they DO build a detention center here. We want the detainees to be treated humanely. We should demand a facility that so requires. Two more things: 1) The facility is to be open to daily inspections, and 2) The detainees are to be free to speak to the press.
