Activists Push to Dissolve Surprise Over Detention Center

Activists in Surprise, Arizona, are launching a radical campaign to dissolve their city entirely, arguing their elected officials are failing to stop a federal immigration detention center from opening. The facility, set to house up to 1500 immigrants in a repurposed warehouse, has drawn lawsuits over its proximity to a hazardous chemical site and fierce protests over human rights concerns. With a petition needing 70,000 signatures and approval from the Maricopa Board of Supervisors, the activists see dissolution as their last resort to reclaim community safety — while the mayor insists the city lacks legal grounds to challenge the federal government.
