‘ICE Out Everywhere’ webinar draws 600 to learn how to monitor agency

Over 600 people signed up for a webinar on Wednesday evening to learn how to monitor and thwart U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement expansion activities in local communities. The “ICE Out Everywhere” free webinar was hosted by the nonprofit group States at the Core (STAC) and drew 600 people from 35 states, STAC co-director Jill Garvey told Border Report. The “training is really a step beyond just documenting and responding to ICE in your neighborhood. It is thinking about all the other parts of the deportation machine,” Garvey said. “A big piece of this is the detention expansion — getting people oriented to this incredible push to expand incarceration of immigrants.” The 90-minute free webinar also focused on derailing 287(g) immigration program agreements with local law enforcement agencies.
