Actions Against ICE Black Site Hold Rooms

  • Contact Senator Hickenlooper and Senator Bennet (and your US House member) to ask them to conduct thorough oversight of ICE black site hold rooms, to demand ICE classify these “Hold Rooms” as detention facilities, to demand ICE follow their own policies, and to demand an IG investigate them. We must raise the level of alarm about these facilities. If your Senator or House rep has not released a statement denouncing them, please ask them to do so.
  • Write Letters to the Editor. One idea is to submit the letter from the Interfaith Immigration Network to your local paper. Go to City Council meetings and ask them to take a firm stand that ICE is not welcome. Ask them about any zoning or building code questions you have.
  • Work with local faith communities to hold vigils, press conferences, and write letters in opposition.
  • Pressure private property owners to terminate their leases and/or to comply with building codes. Property owners are responsible for making sure their buildings are operated in compliance with codes.
  • Contact the building, fire, and safety inspectors in the jurisdictions that contain these ICE hold rooms. There is a good reason to suspect they are not being operated in accordance with codes, and there are ongoing safety violations.
  • There are black site hold rooms in these cities: Florence, Glenwood Springs, Grand Junction, Frederick, Durango, Centennial, Colorado Springs, Craig, and Alamosa.

Actions Against ICE

June 1-6 action against ICE flights

  • Please call Senators Hickenlooper and Bennet and your US House member and ask them to:
    • Visit the Hudson facility where ICE wants to create a new concentration camp and report back
    • Release reports from oversight at the existing GEO concentration camp.
  • Sign this letter to Gov Polis and tell him to sign SB 26-5, allowing civil lawsuits against federal immigration officers who break the law. More info here, and House Bill 26-1276 which ensures transparency when the government shares your personal information, mandates basic health and safety standards in detention facilities, and keeps public resources focused on serving our communities, not facilitating deportations.
