THIS WOULD PAY FOR HEALTH CARE FOR ALL AMERICANS!

WHY ARE WE DETAINING 70,000 PEOPLE WHO COULD BE WORKING, SUPPORTING 

THEIR FAMILIES, CONTRIBUTING TO THEIR COMMUNITIES? 

ICE GESTAPO HAS ACKNOWLEDGED THAT MOST OF THOSE PEOPLE HAVE 

NO CRIMINAL RECORDS! 

MAGA REPUBLICANS HAVE OPPOSED NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS TO CREATE A 

PATHWAY TO CITIZENSHIP AND ICE GESTAPO HAVE INTERUPTED AND PREVENTED 

CITIZENSHIP CEREMONIES! 

HOW DOES THIS MAKE SENSE? 

TELL CONGRESS: ICE plans to use $38 billion to build mega warehouse prisons. Trump's ICE already detains over 70,000 people — more than ever before — in detention centers nationwide like Alligator Alcatraz, which lawmakers have called an internment camp. Sign the petition: Block ICE’s warehouse prison plan and shut down inhumane detention centers!

Trump’s violent ICE forces currently imprison over 70,000 people — a record number.¹ ICE prisons like Alligator Alcatraz and Camp East Montana run on abuse, inhumane conditions, and cruelty. Lawmakers have even called Alligator Alcatraz an internment camp.²

Now, ICE wants to spend $38.3 billion to buy up warehouses and turn them into mega-prisons. The plan would allow the agency to detain tens of thousands more people in its horrific detention centers.³

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has already purchased a giant complex the size of seven football fields in Phoenix, an old Big Lots warehouse in Pennsylvania, and a building equal to 640,000 sq. ft. in San Antonio.^4,5 Congress must stop this rapid, dangerous expansion.

Sign the petition: Stop ICE’s warehouse prison plan and shut down abusive ICE detention centers!

ADD YOUR NAME

In some areas where DHS has purchased warehouse buildings, local communities and lawmakers are putting up fierce opposition — from Phoenix to the Philadelphia suburbs.^6,7

And Congress recently refused to fund DHS because of ICE’s lawless arrests, detention, and deportations.

Trump’s authoritarian dragnet is taking people away from their families and communities, and throwing them into torture prisons. Congress must end this abuse and stop ICE’s prison expansion plan.

Sign the petition: Block new ICE warehouse prisons and shutdown horrific prisons.

Thanks for taking action,
