Join us TOMORROW w/@NeverAgainTexas for #COVID19 safe car rallies taking place at ICE facilities & privately-run detention centers in Austin, Houston, San Antonio, Dallas, Fort Worth & Corpus Christi.

Let's demand ICE #FreeThemAll

ICE detention is always unconscionable & is particularly horrific in the face of the coronavirus pandemic.

In Texas, the state with the largest number of people in ICE detention, we will show up and make our voices heard in solidarity with those in immigration detention.

We need to bring attention to this so our local decision makers use emergency powers & influence to get everyone out of thee detention centers before it’s too late. We are fighting to slow the spread of the disease & save lives: Only drive with people you are already living with!

In all locations, participants will drive around the selected site with signs on their cars to get their messages out. No one should violate social distancing to participate.

If you cannot participate in person, please make your voice heard by posting on social media and using the hashtags #FreeThemAllTexas, #CloseTheCamps, and #DetentionIsDeadly.
