Senator Warnock opposes new ICE detention center

U.S. Senator Raphael Warnock visited Social Circle, Georgia, on Monday, March 2, 2026, to stand with local leaders opposing the Trump Administration's plan to open a new ICE detention facility. City officials argue the community was "blindsided" by the decision and lacks the infrastructure to support the site. Warnock is currently leading efforts in Washington to block the purchase of warehouses for detention use in both Social Circle and Oakwood.
