Fight back against ICE detention camps

Indivisibles,

Tomorrow, [Saturday, April 25], Indivisibles across the country are joining our partners at Detention Watch Network to demand an end to ICE detention warehouses. We’re showing up for peaceful protests, rallies, and vigils outside detention facilities, on street corners, and in front of city halls and courthouses in hundreds of communities.

For months, the Trump regime has been quietly expanding their detention capacity by converting warehouses into detention camps. This is a key part of their plan to deport more than one million people every year. In the process, immigrants will be separated from their families and lawyers, kept in horrific, inhumane conditions, and face increased likelihood of abuse and death.

The detention camps are moral abominations -- but they’re not inevitable. Local organizers have already prevented thirteen of these warehouses from being converted into detention camps and with your help we can prevent even more. 

We all have a role to play in the fight to end the warehousing of human beings and the criminalization of immigration. You can get started by joining the Communities Not Cages National Day of Action.

There are hundreds of events tomorrow, and no matter where you live, there’s an action you can take to fight back against ICE detention camps: 

1️⃣ Join a Communities Not Cages event near you. Stand in solidarity with immigrant communities, connect with local groups and activists leading this fight, and call on your local officials to use every tool to oppose the camps. 

2️⃣ Demand action from Congress. Email your Members of Congress and tell them to publicly oppose any new warehouses or detention centers and block any federal funding that would be used to build, renovate, or operate these facilities.

3️⃣ Check out our resource page for more ways to get involved. From Know Your Rights guides and recorded trainings to toolkits and an ICE warehouse tracker created by our partners, this page has everything you need to join the fight against Trump’s ICE detention camps. 

We hope you’ll join us tomorrow and stand in solidarity with immigrant communities across the country, and after the national day of action we’ll be in touch with more ways to continue organizing against the regime’s detention camps.

In solidarity,
Indivisible Team
