"The federal government is pursuing a multi-layered detention expansion plan that has already pushed the number of people held in Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) custody past 70,000, with stated goals of reaching more than 100,000."
"These warehouse facilities will only increase the likelihood of abuse, neglect, and death in ICE custody. They will also divert critical public resources away from the healthcare, housing, schools, and economic opportunities that actually allow communities to thrive."
"True safety comes from stability, not from detention. SCSJ is committed to protecting all Southerners from abusive federal actions, regardless of race and ethnicity."
The Southern Coalition for Social Justice opposes the federal government's expansion of immigration detention centers, which endangers community safety and dignity. The number of individuals in ICE custody has surpassed 70,000, with plans to exceed 100,000. The introduction of large warehouse detention camps poses significant risks of abuse and neglect. SCSJ advocates for immigrant rights and emphasizes that true safety stems from community stability, not detention. The organization is dedicated to protecting all Southerners from harmful federal actions and promoting dignity and security for everyone.
