KANSAS CITY -  Mayor Quinton Lucas joined Kansas City’s Morning News today, where he spoke about federal efforts to open a detention facility in Kansas City.

Lucas also said that the warehouses being looked at for a possible detention center aren’t made to house people and it could cost millions or tens of millions of dollars to retrofit such a building to house people.
