ICE is spending a shocking $38 billion to buy and convert warehouses across the country into detention centers to ramp up family detention and kidnapping our neighbors without due process. We’re organizing nationwide to stop these inhumane facilities, with major fights already underway in Arizona, Texas, and Georgia.
Take action now to let your representatives know they must stop the construction of these centers
The federal government is spending $313 million to convert a warehouse in Surprise, Arizona, into a mega ICE detention facility. The 400,000-square-foot building is set to be among the larger ICE facilities, detaining up to 1,500 people.
ICE has confirmed their purchases of multiple warehouses in the Atlanta area, with plans to convert them into immigration detention facilities. In Oakwood, ICE purchased a warehouse, right across the street from a children’s dance studio, that they plan to turn into a 1,600-bed processing facility. In Social Circle, a town of only 5,000 people, ICE purchased a massive 1-million-square-foot warehouse that they plan to turn into a mega detention center that could hold up to 10,000 people.
Send a letter to the Hall County Board of Commissioners, Oakwood City Council, Social Circle City Council, and Walton County Commissioners to thank them for standing with the community and urge them to continue using every tool at their disposal to block this warehouse detention center.
ICE has confirmed their purchase of a massive, 640,000-square-foot warehouse in East San Antonio, with plans to convert it into a 1,500-bed immigration detention facility. Local leaders have already sounded the alarm on ICE and DHS’s rapid power grab. Bexar County Commissioner Tommy Calvert has been outspoken against the project, and the San Antonio City Council approved a resolution in February to identify what the city can do to push back against ICE.
Keep up public pressure to encourage local officials to continue to use every lever in their power to interfere with, delay, and block the development of a detention camp in San Antonio, and demand transparency and accountability for any civil or human rights violations by ICE and DHS.
Sign the petition to say no warehouses for detention centers in San Antonio. Send a letter to San Antonio City Council and Bexar County Commissioners Court to thank them for standing with the community and urge them to continue using every tool at their disposal to block this warehouse detention center.
