Television Station: Police Officers and Detention Centre

television station: Demonstrators returned Sunday to the privately run Tacoma Northwest Detention Center, KOMO-TV reported, according to CTV. The demonstrators were protesting the facility and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement roundups that were supposed to begin Sunday. Willem Van Spronsen, 69, was found dead Saturday after four police officers arrived and opened fire. There were about 100 people gathered outside the centre, the television station reported. The detention centre has also held immigration-seeking parents separated from their children under President Donald Trump's zero tolerance policy, an effort meant to deter illegal immigration. The facility holds migrants pending deportation proceedings. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
