ICE Detention Draws Protests in Multiple Cities

Protests in several communities targeted ICE detention and enforcement, including a State College demonstration against what organizers called inhumane treatment of detainees. Keystone Indivisible said it had been told ICE uses State College Airport to transfer people from Moshannon Valley Detention Center; the airport authority said the transportation was not commercial aviation and referred questions to Penn State Aviation. In Roxbury, New Jersey, more than 250 people protested a proposal to convert a warehouse into an ICE detention facility. In San Diego, hundreds of residents, educators and elected officials called for the release of an 8-year-old Haitian boy detained during an ICE check-in and his return to his family and school. ICE said it detained him because his uncle was not his legal guardian, while the boy’s school community described fear and disruption following his detention.
