Evette proposes illegal-immigration detention facility in SC

Columbia, S.C. (WOLO)– Lieutenant Governor, and Republican candidate for governor Pamela Evette is proposing a new immigration detention center in South Carolina.
Pamela Evette has released her plan for what she calls the Palmetto Pen.
Evette says in an op-ed on foxnews.com it will be a first-of-its-kind facility in the state to hold and process illegal immigrants who commit crimes in South Carolina.

“As South Carolina’s next governor, I will do everything in my power to protect our families and businesses. That’s why I’m proposing Palmetto Penitentiary (i.e., Palmetto Pen) — a highly secure, isolated prison facility to detain violent, illegal immigrants who break our laws, threaten our communities, and disrespect our borders,” wrote Evette.
