When This City Caught Wind ICE Was Moving Into Town, Residents Fought Back

NEWPORT— The chilly breeze and sandy shores in this Oregon fishing city have shielded this town from scorching heat for decades. But despite the mist in the air, rumors here spread like wildfire. The latest of those hunches came straight from city officials and has since commanded national attention. Newport City Manager Nina Vetter and Mayor Jan Kaplan signed onto a Nov.

Has #ICE renewed #TacomaWA #DetentionCenter contract? It won’t say

By Alexandra Yoon-Hendricks, Sep. 25, 2025

Excerpt: "The 10-year contract for the private company operating the #NorthwestICEProcessingCenter in Tacoma is set to end this month, but secrecy shrouds whether it’s been extended.

"#Immigration advocates and legal experts have heavily criticized the lack of transparency over the expected renewal of the contract between Immigration and Customs Enforcement and #GEOGroup, which owns and manages the 1,575-bed, jail-like facility.

"Neither GEO Group nor ICE officials have released information about a new contract for running the detention center. The current contract, inked in 2015 as a one-year contract with an option to renew each year for nine years, is set to expire Sept. 27. The contract awarded GEO Group a minimum of $700 million over 10 years.

" 'It not only puts a veil over people’s eyes, but also prevents people inside the detention center from knowing what the future of this detention center is going to be,' said Josefina Mora-Cheung, director of organizing at #LaResistencia a local #activist group advocating for the end of #MassDeportations and the closure of detention centers.

"GEO Group and ICE officials did not answer emailed questions about whether a new contract was signed or whether the existing contract has been extended. Officials did not respond to reporters’ requests to provide copies of the new contract, should it exist.

" 'We cannot confirm pre-decisional contract selections, but we can confirm that ICE is exploring all options to meet its current requirements,' said ICE spokesperson Chrissy Cuttita in an email Tuesday."

“Godsend” or “#ConcentrationCamp”? A Lucrative #ICE Deal Divides a #Colorado Town.

Trump has unleashed a gold rush among #PrivatePrison companies taking on #ImmigrationDetention. In #CashStrapped cities, residents aren’t sure the money is worth it.

Isabela Dias, November+December 2025 Issue

Excerpt: "[T]he prospect of a privately run #ICE facility has divided #WalsenburgCO. Some locals and public officials have welcomed the potential influx of money and jobs. 'It’s a godsend,' Mayor Gary Vezzani told a TV reporter in early July. 'If they use it for ICE or use it for a prison or use it for whatever they use it for, we really don’t care…It’s a pretty big paying customer for us. We’re not big enough, nor [is] anybody here big enough to stop it. So, we may as well take advantage.'

"The mayor’s comments sparked fierce backlash. At a July 15 county commissioners meeting, one resident succinctly shot back: 'We don’t want to be known as a town with a concentration camp.' At a city council meeting the same day, a speaker argued that 'what’s happening in Walsenburg isn’t just #corrupt. It’s #fascist. It’s a blueprint for #authoritarianism wrapped in barbed wire and dressed up as local revival.' "

#NationalGuard Ordered to Do #ICE Paperwork at #Immigration Facilities in 20 States

#Trump’s deployment of the National Guard to immigration facilities further blurs the line between #military and #LawEnforcement.

by Nick Turse, July 31 2025

"The Trump administration authorized the deployment of National Guard troops to immigration facilities in 20 states beginning early next month, further entwining the military in civil and law enforcement functions.

"The move undermines long-standing prohibitions on the use of the armed forces in domestic operations, sidestepping the Posse Comitatus Act and accelerating the U.S. transition into a #PoliceState, experts said.

"The National Guard will be deployed in #Arkansas, #Florida, #Georgia, #Indiana, #Iowa, #Louisiana, #Nebraska, #SouthCarolina, #Texas, #Utah, and #Virginia, among other states, according to a defense official who was not authorized to disclose the information.

"Immigration and Customs Enforcement acknowledged it was now finalizing the parameters of its expanded collaboration with the Pentagon. 'We’re engaged with the Department of Defense and we’re figuring out the next steps,' Tanya Roman, an ICE spokesperson told The Intercept.

"Guard members will assist ICE officials in 'alien processing' – administrative work preceding detention — in 20 states while ICE leadership will 'direct' troops assigned to the mission, which will begin in early August, according to a memo first revealed on Wednesday by the New York Times.

" 'The National Guard serving as camp administrators for ICE’s infamous #DetentionCenters is a dangerous and shameful step for everyone involved,' said #SamRatner, policy director at #WinWithoutWar.

"The Pentagon told The Intercept that these troops will operate under so-called Title 32 status, meaning they will be under state, rather than federal, control, unlike deployments in Los Angeles and across the southern border. Experts say it hardly lessens the dangers to democracy.

" 'This move raises almost all the same concerns as using active-duty troops, and then some,' Elizabeth Goitein, senior director of the Brennan Center’s liberty and national security program, told The Intercept. 'This is yet another attempt to circumvent the #PosseComitatusAct, which normally prohibits the military from engaging in civilian law enforcement activities.' "

Courtney Rozen reveals FEMA's new "detention support grant program," allocating $608 million for temporary immigrant detention center construction. States have until August 8 to apply, part of an initiative to boost migrant detention under the Trump administration. Notably, Florida aims for reimbursement for its costly facility, "Alligator Alcatraz." Explore the implications of this funding shift on local policies.

I normally don't share donation links, especially not to organizations that aren't explicitly leftist, but Juntos is run by good people and they're trying to build up a rapid response network for Wyoming. Their main work aids immigrants navigating legal processes and to prepare for worst case scenarios. It's not a radical org but they aren't in bed with the Dems either, which is why I'm comfortable sharing as a leftist.

#Transpeople 🏳️‍⚧️endangered in #DetentionCenters

Bloomberg: #GeoGroup jumps 11%, while #CoreCivic rises 2.4%. The two largest #detention #contractors rally after the Senate and House of Representatives approved Trump’s #taxandspending #bill that will add billions of dollars for #immigrant #detentioncenters.

From Timothy Snyder:

“In the simplest version…detained people will be offered back to the companies for which they were just working.

The government is putting before us the temptation to cooperate in fascist dehumanization on a grand scale.

The first action is simple. CEOs should now, this summer, this month, next week, sign a pledge not to use labor from concentration camps.”

DO NOT COMPLY. ✊🏻
