Hundreds Protest ICE Facilities, Hiring Events Across Multiple US States

Across the United States, protests have intensified in response to the Trump administration's aggressive immigration enforcement policies and expansion of ICE detention facilities. In Massachusetts, activists gathered weekly outside an ICE office to protest what they view as unconstitutional immigration practices, highlighting that these issues predate the Trump presidency. In rural Pennsylvania, a large protest at the Moshannon Valley Processing Center, the largest ICE facility in the Northeast, drew attention to the harsh conditions and solitary confinement rates, especially following a detainee's suicide. Protesters also rallied in Indiana against the potential use of Camp Atterbury as an ICE detention center, emphasizing the national scope of the issue and calling for policy change. In Nebraska, about 150 people protested plans for a new ICE detention facility in McCook, with local officials defending the need for border order while accusing the Trump administration of removing immigrants without due process. Meanwhile, ICE's national recruitment efforts, including a major hiring event in Arlington, Texas, have sparked further protests by immigrant rights groups opposing the expansion of enforcement agents who they say terrorize communities under the current administration's crackdown.
