ICE Warehouse Resistance

We support collaboration among communities working to prevent the expansion of detention and mass incarceration infrastructure into their towns and regions.

Participants in this network believe that decisions with profound human consequences should not be made quietly, remotely, without local input, or without regard for fundamental rights and long-term community impact. We work across borders — municipal, state, and national — because the forces driving these projects do the same.

Our aim is to maximize the autonomy of towns to choose for themselves — or at least influence the choice — to have such detention centers created locally given the foreseeable impact to their economy, infrastructure, services, ecosystems, reputation and more.

Nothing on this site should be interpreted as guidance for or approval of any illegal action, violence, destruction, or interference with the legal activities of DHS, ICE and the CBP.

Much of what you’ll see here is practical: how communities organize, where pressure points emerge, what arguments resonate, and what missteps to avoid. It is shared in good faith, for learning and coordination, not spectacle.
