Communities Not Cages: National Day of Action to Stop ICE Warehouse Detention/ICE Out of Flagstaff on April 25

By Indivisible Northern Arizona

FLAGSTAFF — Join us at Flagstaff City Hall as part of a nationwide day of action against the Trump administration’s expansion of ICE detention — and its assault on the due process rights of immigrants and all Americans from 2 to 4 p.m. Saturday, April 25 at the Flagstaff City Hall, 211 W Aspen Ave., Flagstaff.

Send a message to ICE that they are not welcome in Flagstaff

The Department of Homeland Security is moving to lock thousands of people in massive detention warehouses — cutting them off from their families, their lawyers, and any meaningful chance at due process. We’re taking to the streets because Flagstaff stands for something better: dignity, justice, and the rule of law.

We will send a clear message to ICE that they are not wanted, needed or welcome in Flagstaff!

We’ll gather to:

Oppose ICE warehouses in AZ and beyond.
Stand with detained immigrants who have been disappeared from their families and denied their day in court.
Send a clear message to ICE that they should pack their bags and leave Flagstaff.
Let Moar Properties know that the community has taken note that they have invited ICE to Flagstaff to disappear our neighbors. We will not forget.

Bring a sign. Bring your neighbors. Bring your voice.

A core principle behind all Indivisible events is a commitment to nonviolent action. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values and to act lawfully at these events. Weapons of any kind, including those legally permitted, should not be brought to events.

(April 25), Indivisibles across the country are joining our partners at Detention Watch Network to demand an end to ICE detention warehouses. We’re showing up for peaceful protests, rallies, and vigils outside detention facilities, on street corners, and in front of city halls and courthouses in hundreds of communities.

For months, the Trump regime has been quietly expanding their detention capacity by converting warehouses into detention camps. This is a key part of their plan to deport more than one million people every year. In the process, immigrants will be separated from their families and lawyers, kept in horrific, inhumane conditions, and face increased likelihood of abuse and death.

The detention camps are moral abominations — but they’re not inevitable. Local organizers have already prevented thirteen of these warehouses from being converted into detention camps and with your help we can prevent even more.

We all have a role to play in the fight to end the warehousing of human beings and the criminalization of immigration. You can get started by joining the Communities Not Cages National Day of Action.

There are hundreds of events tomorrow, and no matter where you live, there’s an action you can take to fight back against ICE detention camps:

1️⃣ Join a Communities Not Cages event near you. Stand in solidarity with immigrant communities, connect with local groups and activists leading this fight, and call on your local officials to use every tool to oppose the camps.

2️⃣ Demand action from Congress. Email your Members of Congress and tell them to publicly oppose any new warehouses or detention centers and block any federal funding that would be used to build, renovate, or operate these facilities.

3️⃣ Check out our resource page for more ways to get involved. From Know Your Rights guides and recorded trainings to toolkits and an ICE warehouse tracker created by our partners, this page has everything you need to join the fight against Trump’s ICE detention camps.

We hope you’ll join us tomorrow and stand in solidarity with immigrant communities across the country, and after the national day of action we’ll be in touch with more ways to continue organizing against the regime’s detention camps.

In solidarity,
Indivisible Team
