Thank you for all of this info. I had heard, but was skeptical, that federal Bureau of Prison personnel had been given arrest authority by ICE. This was confirmed to me by Mandy Weirich. Her husband works at the Morgantown FCI (used to be JFK minimum security federal prison facility on the Greenbag Rd. I believe she said her husband had been deputized. There was speculation that the Kennedy ctr would be used to house immigration suspects (I am going to call them that) but she said probably not, because it is not secure (i.e. no fence). I don't know what kind of uniforms federal Bureau of Prison employees would wear to participate in an ICE raid, and they presumably wouldn't be flown in, since they live in the area (Mandy lives in Elkins, ran for the state Senate in 2024 as a Democrat. She is a former police officer and current WVU professor in social work) Also, on Wed evening there is a child care form at about the same time as the immigration presentation . Here is the link to the WV Association for Young Children that is sponsoring the community child care conversations, and a flyer which shows when the events are taking place around the state: https://wvayc.org/. Here is a link to rsvp to the immigration update, the one above doesn't work: https://events.teams.microsoft.com/event/4f2a8a98-2d63-4464-839f-81362f2744fb@4586eb7e-1268-4dac-b387-92d8a728caaf
