ICE Detention Centers


It’s time to act again on the state level regarding ICE detention centers. The state of Illinois has banned private migrant detention centers. Other states should do the same.

Action:

1. If you live in Illinois, contact your governor with a message of appreciation for the state’s decision.

2. If you live in a different state, contact your governor to ask that your state follow Illinois’ example in banning private immigration detention facilities, and ask your governor to provide you with the answers to one or more of the following questions (taken from 5Calls.org):
  • Headcount: How many immigrants are housed in our state? What is the population breakdown by gender, age, etc.?
  • Conditions: What are typical living conditions and length of detention?
  • Safety: What kinds of abuses do detainees face (deaths in custody, denial of medical care, lack of sanitation)?
  • Facilities: Are there any plans for closure or expansion? Are the prisons public or privately run?
  • Resources: Are any state resources being used to support these facilities?
  • Access: When can a delegation tour facilities?
