California and Santa Clara County have filed a lawsuit to stop a proposed ICE facility near Gilroy, citing zoning and environmental violations. - The 25-acre site at 7240 Holsclaw Road is zoned for agriculture and lacks permits.

- Demolition began without environmental review or public input. - The $26 million lease includes plans for an office building and possible holding rooms.

- Officials argue the facility would harm the community and detainees. The lawsuit seeks an immediate halt to construction, with a hearing expected soon.
