"The fact that this happened shows the extremes that they are reaching to keep our voices suppressed, said Ismael Arvizu, who was arrested for protesting the data center."
"Peggy Price, we have the signatures right here to recall you, said Ramon Chavoya, expressing frustration with the county's handling of the data center project."
"The proposed data center, which would be among the largest in California, has raised significant concerns regarding health and environmental impacts among local residents."
A protester against a proposed data center in Imperial County was arrested during a Board of Supervisors meeting. Ismael Arvizu faced charges including trespassing and disturbing the peace. The proposed 950,000-square-foot facility has raised concerns over environmental impacts, as the county exempted it from a state review. Tensions escalated during public comments, with residents expressing frustration towards county officials. The case has been submitted to the district attorney's office for further review following the incident.
