Burlington Patch's Wednesday morning newsletter raised unresolved questions about whether town officials can inspect conditions inside a local U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility, an issue the outlet flagged without offering new detail from town hall. The question surfaces the same week two town bodies, the Select Board and the Burlington Government Review Subcommittee's Getting to Yes group, are both set to meet Thursday, Aug. 20, at Town Hall.
