Gov. Josh Shapiro visited the Berks County Agriculture Center in Bern Township on Thursday to provide an update on proposed federal immigration detention facilities in Berks and Schuylkill counties, reiterating his opposition and saying the state will use its legal and regulatory authority to try to stop the projects.
Speaking during a press conference following a meeting with local officials, Shapiro said the federal government made plans for the two large U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention centers without advance notice to state or local leaders.
