​Short-Term Calls To Action (CTA)

Local

ICE in San Antonio

Background

Oakmont Industrial Group has sold one of their facilities to turn it into an ICE Detention Center.

From SA DSA: “ICE remains an unwelcome addition to the Eastside community. Oakmont industries ignored the initial response of thousands of San Antonians like you, demanding ICE OUT, but our organizing does not stop here. Families, students, and educators deserve to live, learn, and gather without fear and we will continue organizing for the better world we all deserve. 

 

San Antonio DSA, in coalition with partners in SA Stands and Councilman Jalen McKee-Rodriguez have been working tirelessly to organize resistance to Trump's reign of ICE terror. In order to get ICE out of our city, we need all hands on deck! We need you to get involved in the struggle. Commit to getting involved with future next steps by filling out [this form], and we will reach out to you to get you plugged into our next action.”

CALL STATE REP. GERVIN-HAWKINS

This facility threatens families and children in our community, and we expect our state representative to actively intervene, through oversight, regulation, and pressure on state agencies.

 

Please let her know our community is watching and expects action. Thank you."

I'm calling to urge Congressman Cuellar to oppose DHS funding that enables ICE detention facilities, and to stop the one proposed in San Antonio.

 

ICE detention centers have caused documented harm to families and children, and Congressman Cuellar must stop siding with Republicans on this issue.

 

As a federal representative, he should be held accountable and publicly oppose this facility. Thank you.”
