❌🧊 ICE OUT for Good – No ICE Detention in Surprise AZ

### **Weekly Protest: NO ICE DETENTION IN SURPRISE!**

📍 **Bell Rd & Civic Center Dr, Surprise, AZ**
🕘 **Every Saturday | 9:00–10:30 AM**

We are protesting weekly in Surprise, AZ in response to the ongoing overreach of ICE across the country, and the massive ICE detention facility coming to Surprise.

*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 should not be brought to events.*

As residents of **Arizona’s 8th & 9th Congressional Districts**, we are calling on our representatives, **Abe Hamadeh and Paul Gosar**, and the **Surprise City Council** to publicly address and oppose this facility and any federal enforcement actions that endanger civil rights and community safety. Protecting constituents from government overreach is a core responsibility of elected office.

**Our demands:**

– No ICE detention in Surprise
– No new funding for ICE without real reform
– Investigate the killings of Renee Good & Alex Pretti
– End aggressive dragnet operations and mass surveillance
– Restore transparency, accountability, and due process

**Suggested messages for signs:**

– NO ICE FACILITY IN SURPRISE
– CITY HALL, SAY NO TO ICE
– PROTECT OUR PEACE, NO ICE IN SURPRISE
– NO ICE NEAR SCHOOLS
– JUSTICE FOR RENEE GOOD AND ALEX PRETTI
– END ICE NOW
– BELIEVE YOUR EYES NOT TRUMP’S LIES
– NO ICE IN AZ
– DUE PROCESS FOR ALL

This protest is rooted in **nonviolence, clarity, and solidarity**. We welcome community members who believe no agency should operate above the law and that state power must be constrained by constitutional rights and public oversight.

**Bring signs, bring water, and bring your voice.**

**Parking:** Plenty of parking is available on the south side of Bell Rd. Please stay out of the urgent care parking lot at the corner and avoid parking near business entrances.

**Peaceful protest. No violence. No harassment. No escalation.**
