"All it takes is for one person to strap on a bomb, walk into a school… and blow themselves up," said one outraged member of the Rockford TEA Party Patriots.

The group is in an uproar about the latest step in moving Guantanamo Bay detainees to Thomson, Ill. They held an emergency meeting tonight to discuss the issue and make plans for a protest against the transfer of alleged terrorists.

"This is being completed unconstitutionally. We just don't have a say, here the people of Illinois, as to whether or not we want these detainees here. And where's this money coming from?" commented Jerry Sandin.

The sale of the prison is not a done deal. In order for the process to move forward federal laws will have to be changed, funding must be approved and support needs to be gained in congress.

The TEA Party plans to use a December 22nd public hearing to voice their concerns and talk about all of these issues.
