South Tucson council cancels flock camera contracts: Opposes plans for proposed ICE facility | Local News

SOUTH TUCSON, Ariz. (KVOA) – The South Tucson City Council addressed several issues during their meeting on Tuesday, focusing on Flock cameras and a proposed ICE detention facility.

Flock cameras and license plate reader contracts were a major topic at the meeting. These cameras previously sparked heated debate back in November of last year due to security concerns. Discussions about potentially canceling these contracts were postponed until this week. The majority of the council voted against proceeding with the contract.

In addition, South Tucson city leaders took a stance against a proposed ICE detention facility in the area. During the meeting, council members passed a resolution formally opposing the facility. The city emphasized its commitment to humanity, dignity and community safety. The resolution instructs the city manager and city clerk to communicate this opposition to other officials and stakeholders.
