Douglas County Jail Holding 4 ICE Detainees

Northern News Now has confirmed that the Douglas County Jail in Superior is currently holding four ICE detainees. They were detained somewhere in this region between Feb. 10th and 12th, and are not the same workers who were detained on Feb. 27 from Lakeside. https://www.northernnewsnow.com/.../ice-detainees-held.../

We don't know any more info than this right now, but we urge folks to contact Douglas County Sheriff Izzard to demand that the County Jail break off its contract with ICE, and to stop collaborating with them. Sheriff Izzard can be reached at contactdcsheriff@ci.superior.wi.us
