DU'er

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is spending millions on warehouses they plan to repurpose as ICE detention "mega-centers" to hold as many as 10,000 human beings per warehouse. Draft layouts show "pods" in which individuals are to be held, each pod crammed tightly against the next. The risks and trauma inherent to such crowding almost don't bear mentioning -- because to do so suggests a world in which there is a good way to warehouse human beings. There isn't.

Across the country, concerned Americans have already shown they're unwilling to sit by as these new concentration camps are built and filled. Instead, they've been fighting back and winning -- even in some deep red districts. In Utah, Minnesota, and Oklahoma, from Marshall County, MS to Hanover County, VA, grassroots pressure has swayed politicians and property owners, successfully preventing the sale of commercial spaces to DHS.

Some progressive politicians have joined the fight, and the growing backlash has scared even a few Republicans into opposing the purchase of these properties by DHS -- at least, in their own backyards -- while putting everyone else, even the most loyal MAGA elected officials, on the defensive. Which makes this the perfect time to go on offense.

Email all your Members of Congress now and tell them you expect them to do everything in their power to block the warehousing of humans.

Then use our call tools to:

Tell your senators: No ICE warehouses in California.

Tell your representative: The constituents of CA-05 reject ICE concentration camps.
Finally, look out for upcoming emails from Indivisible about how to wage this fight at the local level by putting pressure on state legislatures and city and county officials to refuse to give Trump and his enablers what they want.

Have no doubt, the public is with us, and even Trump may be starting to figure that out. The White House has reportedly asked House Republicans to shut up about "mass deportations" already, recognizing that the regime’s handling of their signature issue is tanking Trump’s approval and Republican midterm prospects.

But a change in messaging won't help. Because we know what they're trying to hide.

We're on a path to repeating some of the darkest chapters in modern history. ICE is already holding nearly 70,000 people in its existing network of concentration camps; we cannot sit by and watch as Trump and his enablers work to warehouse tens of thousands more.

1️⃣ Instantly email all your Members of Congress.

2️⃣ Call your senators.

3️⃣ Call your representative.

Disrupting the regime's plans to abduct, abuse, and literally warehouse whomever it chooses won't end ICE's campaign of terror; we still have a long fight ahead of us. When we're back in power, we'll need to strip DHS down to the studs and hold to account everyone responsible for its horrors.

But this is a critical step to laying the groundwork for that future. Let's keep fighting.

In solidarity,

1. "Plan to repurpose." They never will

Private contractors and commercial realtors will make a fortune off this, but there won't be enough money or will left to get them operational

A few years later we'll find warehouses full of beds and nightlights some contractor got a wad for
