Montrose, Colorado — On Saturday, April 25 Montrose and Ouray Counties Indivisible will hold an action at 320 South 1st Street, Montrose, to denounce immigration detention expansion for the Communities Not Cages National Day of Action to Stop ICE Warehouse Detention. Currently, ICE is scouting, purchasing, and retrofitting warehouses nationwide for immigration detention, which are expected to detain between 1,500–10,000 people each. ICE is currently considering reopening a 200,000 square foot, closed prison just four hours from Montrose in Walsenburg, Colorado, proposing to house over 100,000 humans. Jailing people in large-scale, makeshift detention warehouses will exponentially increase the likelihood of abuse and death in ICE custody, which is tragically already at an all-time high under the Trump administration. Detention warehouses will also divert critical resources such as water and electricity away from local communities, could cut off tax revenue, foreclose economic opportunities and destroy local landscapes.
The action is part of a coordinated nationwide mobilization against President Trump’s mass detention and deportation agenda. The nationwide events are being organized by: Disappeared In America, Detention Watch Network, Indivisible, MoveOn, Public Citizen, and Worker’s Circle.
