Movement Call: Warehousing Immigrants

The Trump Administration is rapidly expanding immigration detention by turning to large warehouses and industrial facilities for mass detention. These plans signal a major shift toward large-scale detention that raises serious concerns about health and safety, due process, transparency, and the rights of local communities.

This webinar will provide an overview of what we know about the federal government’s plans to convert warehouses into immigration detention centers. We will discuss locations that have already been purchased, facilities currently under consideration, and the potential impacts on surrounding communities.

Participants will also learn about strategies that local advocates, community members, and public officials are using to push back against these projects.
