Communities Protest Immigrant Detention Expansion

Communities Protest Immigrant Detention Expansion

Published 2 weeks, 6 days ago
Description

Communities across the U.S. are rallying against the Trump administrations push to detain tens of thousands of immigrants, with over one hundred sixty protests planned for the Communities Not Cages national day of action on April twenty-fifth. The administration aims to add eighty thousand beds nationwide, including in Socorro, Texas, where three warehouses could hold up to eight thousand five hundred people. Local residents in El Paso are protesting the massive Camp East Montana center, which has faced rights abuses, including a homicide. Detention numbers have skyrocketed under Trump, peaking at over seventy-five thousand in January twenty twenty-six, and sitting at just over sixty thousand now. Texas sees at least five events, uniting residents, faith leaders, and families against the expansion.
