Social Circle

I'm your host, Trey Bailey, and today we are joined in the studio by a candidate for the Georgia Senate seat representing District 42.

District 42 is all of Morgan County, most of Newton County, half of Walton County, including Social Circle and Loganville, portions of Henry County, like Ola all the way up to McDonough, encompassing what has a population of over 200,000 people.

Now, our guest today probably needs no introduction since he's been senior pastor of the largest church in our community for nearly 30 years.

ICE also bought a warehouse complex for about $68 million at around 600,000 square feet in Oakwood, about an hour north of Atlanta, to detain up to 1,600 people.

The Government Accountability Office says ICE acted without a plan.

Thomasville and Fitzgerald, two teams, 5-1.

Jasper County at Social Circle.

Macon County and Sly, 5-0 and 5-1.

Uh, Clinch and Mitchell County, 4-2 and 5-1.

it.

One piece that I think is a good example of just this unbelievable overreach in some people's opinions was the potential detention center in Social Circle, Georgia.

It was a huge warehouse that had been purchased by DHS to be a mass detention facility without local officials' knowledge.

They did not know it had happened.
