  • Platform Ventures announced on Thursday that it would not move forward with the sale of the South Kansas City warehouse, which earlier this year DHS and ICE officials toured as a potential ICE detention facility.
  • KMBC 9 video crew and reporter Andy Alcock show an unidentified woman spraying liquid on window areas at 14900/14901, igniting flames with flames briefly flaring up.
  • Authorities encouraged anyone with information to call 816-474-TIPS; police say the suspect left before investigators arrived and remained at large as of 8:50 p.m.
  • Local protests and elected officials have kept the dispute over the warehouse active, with Jackson County Legislative Chairman Manny Abarca saying officials suggested it could be used as an ICE detention center.
