ICE kills people, tears families apart, and threatens community safety wherever they go. No one is safe when ICE is present – whether on the streets or in one of the agency’s more than 200 abuse-ridden detention facilities.

Local communities are making it clear from coast to coast – they don’t want detention centers or warehouse detention. And they are winning! We demand an end to Trump’s cruel mass detention expansion and that detention facilities be shut down for good. www.inquirer.com/politics/pen...

ICE formally withdraws plans to build two Pennsylvania detention centers, Gov. Josh Shapiro says

The decision, which comes amid opposition from the state and from local communities, means the end of efforts to convert warehouses in Berks and Schuylkill Counties.

Last month, a U.S. senator warned that the Trump administration planned to deport 500 unaccompanied children. This month, reporting shows it has plans to relocate tens of thousands of unaccompanied kids to Texas. The Trump administration is attacking immigrant children on all fronts.🧵⤵️

New interview I did with Amna Akbar in @jewishcurrents.bsky.social was just published. It's a bit of a synthesis on the how we got here and the current conditions on immigration. Always great to be in convo w/Amna & wonderful to work w/Aparna Gopalan at JC on this. jewishcurrents.org/unbuild-the-...

No one is safe when ICE is present - whether on the streets or in one of the agency’s more than 200 abuse-ridden detention facilities. @detentionwatchnetwork.org @the-ilrc.bsky.social @immdefenseproject.bsky.social are launching a new campaign: End the ICE Age. 🧊💥

NEW: Aurora Police say an ICE detention center employee shot a protester last night. She is expected to survive. 42-year-old Brandon Booth, who works for the ICE contractor GEO Group, is being held on suspicion of attempted second degree murder and other charges.

This morning, I was notified of another death in ICE custody. This is the 53th death on ICE’s watch during Trump’s second term. We must continue to fight for accountability for everyone who has lost a loved one. And it’s time to end the use of all for-profit detention centers.

We are deeply saddened and equally enraged by the killing of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo and now, the reported death of a 26-year-old in Maine at the hands of ICE just today, both deaths occurring within a week of each other.

Today, the right wing Justices on the Supreme Court doubled down on Trump’s cruel and racist anti-immigrant agenda with two decisions that will put countless people at risk of detention and deportation.

@detentionwatchnetwork.org is continuing to work with local communities to fight the warehouses (toolkit here: bit.ly/noicewarehouse) and stop expansion of detention in more traditional facilities such as former prisons. Despite the billions in funding, there is a lot we can still do to stop them.

In Surprise, AZ where ICE is still moving ahead with plans despite the a lawsuit filed by the AG, local residents are trying to disincorporate the city in order to block the warehouse: azmirror.com/2026/06/17/f...

Frustrated by inaction on ICE warehouse, activists move to dissolve Surprise altogether

Surprise ICE warehouse facility opposition fuels a petition to disincorporate the Arizona city entirely, but it's a big challenge to do so

In Texas, ICE is repackaging the plan for the warehouse in Socorro for offices, training space and some detention. The scale might be reduced but they are moving ahead: www.elpasotimes.com/story/news/i...

ICE changing plans for Socorro warehouses, U.S. Rep. Veronica Escobar says

U.S. Rep. Veronica Escobar said that ICE is no longer looking to use three warehouses in Socorro, Texas to hold 8,500 people.

This is an incredible victory for the local communities, researchers, litigators, and longstanding anti-detention organizers in these states that have been working tirelessly to stop these sites from going online. But warehouse expansion continues in AZ, TX, and elsewhere. The fight is far from over

SCOOP: ICE is planning to offload seven warehouses purchased for more than $700 million by either giving them to other federal agencies or selling them outright, according to documents obtained by The New York Times. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/18/u...

If you paid taxes for 2025, you likely paid: $124 — school lunch & nutrition programs $49 — diplomacy to prevent wars $19 — USPS $19 — Federal Aviation Administration $18 — national parks and $4,049 — weapons and war. These priorities are hurting us all. We need change. #TaxDay

We are deeply saddened and equally enraged that a shocking 18 people have died in ICE custody this calendar year and 49 deaths total under this administration. No one is safe when ICE is present, whether on the streets or in one of the agency’s more than 200 abuse-ridden detention facilities.

ICE detainee found dead, 18th in-custody death in 2026. "Immigration & Customs Enforcement says 33-year-old Cuban immigrant Denny Adan Gonzalez was found unresponsive in his cell at the for-profit Stewart Detention Center in Lumpkin, Georgia, last Tuesday." www.democracynow.org/2026/5/4/hea...

Today the House ended the DHS shutdown by passing the Senate approved FY 2026 DHS funding bill that zeroes out funding for ICE and other parts of the mass detention and deportation machine. This is a testament to the power of everyday people to create change!
