Dear CA Community,
WE NEED YOU TO SHOW UP AGAINST the ICE Detention EXPANSION PROPOSAL IN CA CITY in Kern County on July 22nd at 5 pm!
Location: City Hall, 21000 Hacienda Blvd., California City, CA 93505
The Trump administration, ICE and CoreCivic are trying to open a new ICE detention in the city, read more here. If this is realized, this will be the biggest ICE immigrant detention center in California with a capacity of 2,304 beds! After Congress allocated $45 billion in funding for detention expansion, the Trump administration is moving aggressively to try to open this facility by August/October. We know more detention will mean more raids targeting farmworking communities and other immigrant communities across California.
The Dolores Huerta foundation has been mobilizing the community and needs our support.
If you are planning to attend RSVP here: bit.ly/cacity622
(to better coordinate and keep track of our collective power to push against this proposal)
There might be an opportunity to join the city council meeting over zoom but we won’t know until the day of the meeting, you can still register and mark virtual attendance to make sure we notify you. In-person participation is highly encouraged!
Since the last time we attended the city council meeting, a planning commission has been appointed. We know the city is feeling the heat and we must continue to push them to take a stance against the expansion and deny any permits required for the proposal to move forward!
Updated flyer coming and talking points will be shared closer to the meeting.
