Sunday, July 28, 2:30-5pm Never Again Means #ShutDownICE in Vermont. Children are being separated from their families at the border and imprisoned in concentration camps. ICE raids are increasing in frequency and severity, instilling fear and terror into immigrant communities. People are dying at the border as they flee for their safety. Valued members of our local community are being rounded up as they shop for groceries and send hard-earned money to their families. We refuse to wait and see -- we know from history what happens next.

On Sunday, July 28, we will gather at 2:30 at the Williston branch of Vermont Technical College -- a recipient of ICE contract funds -- at the intersection of Helena Drive and Essex Road in Williston. At 3PM we will begin our march to the ICE Data Center (a.k.a. the Law Enforcement Support Center or LESC) at 188 Harvest Lane, Williston. For those who would like to join but are unable to march, please meet us at our destination point. We plan to arrive at 188 Harvest Lane between 3:45 and 4PM. The ICE Data Center has been quietly operating in VT for years and is the national nerve center that aids much of ICE's work, providing data about people's immigration status to federal agents and local cops, which can lead to arrests.This center operates 24/7 and employees approximately 400 workers.
