Since creating its ICE Warehouse Purchase Tracker, a group called Project Salt Box has fueled a highly successful campaign of community opposition to these detention centers across the United States. The group’s co-founder Michael Wriston breaks down how the project began and how people have responded in this video with host Adam Klasfeld of All Rise News.
