The Trump administration is trying to jam through the development of a new ICE facility here in California, and we just filed a lawsuit to block it.

Trump’s anti-immigrant agenda and mass deportation machine have led to absolutely unacceptable and inhumane conditions at short- and long-term ICE detention facilities across California and the country.

My office’s recent report on conditions inside long-term immigration detention facilities found that they were overcrowded, understaffed, unsanitary, and unsafe. Detainees face inadequate medical care and issues accessing food and clean water. During our investigation, we heard incidents of facilities using pepper spray against detainees and saw staff who appeared to be using excessive force.

But instead of working to improve conditions at these facilities — which fall short of even ICE’s own standards — they’re trying to build another facility in a community that doesn’t want it.

ICE is violating multiple federal laws to develop this new facility near Gilroy, California, and will violate more by misusing the short-term holding space for extended detention — so we’re suing to stop this project and protect our communities.

If you agree we can’t let ICE continue this illegal development in California, add your name today. 

Since deploying ICE in our communities, the Trump administration has brazenly ignored the law over and over again, from unlawful immigration stops to aggressive, militaristic raids that wreak havoc on public safety.

As California Attorney General, I will never stop fighting to hold ICE accountable and stand up for our immigrant communities — and I’m so grateful you’re here fighting by my side.
