Partner Action: Investigate the Abuse and Disappearance of ICE Detainees
In August, a federal judge ordered Florida and the Trump administration to close the “Alligator Alcatraz” detention camp and relocate its detainees. Since then, over a thousand men have gone missing, with hundreds unrecorded in ICE’s database.
The Department of Homeland Security has repeatedly failed to provide clear information about detainees. Many immigrants sent to the CECOT prison in El Salvador remain missing, and transgender detainees are intentionally omitted from reports, increasing their risk of abuse.
Families and lawyers struggle to locate people snatched off the streets by unidentified federal agents. DHS also refuses to disclose information about the record-high number of deaths in custody, including a former DACA recipient. Widespread abuse at ICE facilities includes sexual assault, medical neglect, and mistreatment of children and pregnant women.
👉 We must demand investigations to ensure detainee safety, accountability, and rights.

ICA Action: Hang Posters for Hands Off Chicago March 10/18
Here in Chicago we know how to rise up, fight back, and support each other.
It is more important than ever that we do that together on October 18th as we show the nation and the world that Chicago is united in opposing these illegal and unnecessary attacks against our neighbors, our communities, and our democracy.
Our actions and resistance are necessary as Trump sends militarized agents into our communities, silences voters and voices, and hands billionaires giveaways while families struggle. This isn’t just politics. It’s democracy versus dictatorship. We won’t accept a wannabe king, and we won’t back down against chaos, corruption, and cruelty.
While some of these Daily Actions come from our own work as Indivisible Chicago Alliance, others are from our many partners working to advance the progressive agenda. We invite you to join us in supporting their work. Postings from partners do not imply Indivisible Chicago Alliance endorsement of specific policies and positions.
