Weekly Protest: NO ICE DETENTION IN SURPRISE!
π Bell Rd & Civic Center Dr, Surprise, AZ
π Every Saturday | 9:00β10:30 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 Arizonaβs 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 TRUMPβS 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.
