Join Hagerstown Rapid Response and Washington County Indivisible as we continue the urgent fight against a proposed ICE detention facility planned in Washington County, Maryland.
What began as a local struggle has become one of the clearest examples in the country of how ICE expansion is being pushed forward with minimal transparency and little regard for community opposition. County officials are attempting to push through a massive warehouse detention center that could hold up to 1,500 people, restricting public comment, withholding information, and signing secret non-disclosure agreements.1
If this facility moves forward here, it will become a dangerous model for future ICE warehouse detention expansion across the country. Maryland is a national warning sign, and people from across the state showing up matters.
We are asking Indivisible chapters and members across the state to stand with us next Tuesday to send a clear message: Maryland communities do not support secretive deals, mass detention expansion, or the silencing of public opposition. Your presence—whether you bring five people or fifty—will make a difference in this critical movement.
