Yesterday it was announced that an immigrant detention center would not be coming to the former Naval Weapons Station in Concord (like in the above photo) with Congressman Mark DeSaulnier pointing out that, “housing almost 50,000 people there was both dangerous and immoral” according to this abcnews7 article.
