City leaders in one central Illinois community are picking local jobs over the political opinions of out-of-town protesters. Dwight’s city council last night voted to annex 88 acres into the city so developers can possibly open an ICE detention center. A number of protesters from Illinois State University or other out-of-town locales shouted their disapproval. Dwight Village President Jared Anderson says the project will means hundreds of jobs for Dwight if the community is chosen.
