Surprise Residents Push to Disincorporate

Residents of Surprise are staging a radical protest against a new ICE processing center, launching a petition to unincorporate the city and return its land to Maricopa County. With a bold six-month deadline to gather 70,000 signatures, activists demand city leaders take a stronger stand against what they call a “detention warehouse,” fearing dire conditions for detainees. While officials insist the facility is for short-term use and they’re minimizing local impact, critics say the city’s response is too timid. Set to open in September, this divisive project has ignited a fierce community split — and some residents are willing to go to extreme lengths to stop it.
