Partner Action: Close the Broadview ICE Facility
The Chicago Alliance Against Racist and Political Repression’s Immigrant Rights Working Committee will hold a press conference today at noon to announce its campaign to shut down the Broadview ICE Staging Facility, currently used as a detention center.
The facility has no beds or showers and is supposed to hold detainees for no more than 12 hours, but some are held for weeks, receiving only one meal daily. In June, Congress members were denied access despite their inspection rights.
CAARPR urges Illinois AG Kwame Raoul and Cook County State’s Attorney Eileen Burke to investigate the facility’s ownership, conduct inspections, and push to close it. With additional ICE funding from Trump, detentions are expected to increase, worsening conditions and violating basic rights. This campaign demands immediate action to end this inhumane treatment.
👉 The CAARPR's press conference is TODAY at noon at Daley Plaza.

Partner Action: Families First Rally 7/26
On July 26, Americans in every corner of the country will come together in peaceful marches, rallies, and actions to say: our families come first—not billionaires, not authoritarians, and not corrupt politicians.
From rural towns to major cities, Families First actions will bring people together to collectively demand an end to policies that harm children, seniors, and our families. We reject the Administration's actions that have gutted essential programs like Medicaid, FEMA, food stamps, school lunches, and more, all so a handful of billionaires can get tax giveaways.
👉 Join the Families First rally on Saturday, July 26 at noon at 1501 W Randolph St.
