Protest ICE Detention at Surprise Spring Training
A $70 million ICE detention facility is coming to Surprise — and we’re taking that message to spring training.
Join Northwest Valley Indivisible as fans from across the country arrive for games. This is a high-visibility opportunity to show the world that Surprise residents oppose this facility, and to pressure our City Council to act.
Bring your voice. Bring your family. Bring a sign. Sign up for one date or all three.
Dates: – Tuesday, March 10 – Thursday, March 12 – Saturday, March 14 – Monday, March 16 – Tuesday, March 17 – Friday, March 20
Time: Varies by date. See below.
Protest Location: Southwest corner of Bullard Ave & Paradise Lane
Parking: North side of Paradise Lane, across from the library
Suggested signs: – ICE OUT of Surprise – NO ICE Facility in Surprise – City Council, Say NO to ICE
Since 2001, the Maricopa County StandDown, coordinated by the Arizona Housing Coalition’s Arizona Veterans StandDown Alliance, has served thousands of U.S. military veterans, and their families, experiencing or at risk of homelessness in our state’s capital. Growing to one of the largest events of its kind in the country, more than 2,500 veterans were served at StandDown events in 2019, connecting them to critical supportive services to help them gain and maintain their health and housing stability.

START TIME: The event starts at 7:30 am. You are free to show up anytime, but we recommend arriving a few minutes early to introduce yourself. We end promptly at 8:30 am.
GATHERING POINT: We gather on the WEST side of Central, just north of Holly. Please DO NOT protest on the east side. Immigrants have appointments in this building, and we don’t want to prohibit them from what they are required to do.
MESSAGING & FOCUS
One of RhRR’s strengths is that people feel free to express themselves. Ideally, your signs would help articulate any of our three pillars:
- Defending democracy and the rule of law
- Encouraging voting
- Protecting neighbors and communities (e.g., immigrants, LGBTQIA+ people, workers, and veterans)
This approach keeps signs aligned with RhRR’s purpose, while preserving personal expression and emotional authenticity.
For this location, try to make your messaging specific to immigration rights, human rights, and other anti-ICE slogans.
Flags, banners, and even inflatable costumes are welcome. Some blow lots of bubbles. While our mission is serious, humor and camaraderie matter.
RhRRs are peaceful, public events. Most attendees don’t hide their faces, though some do; participate at your comfort level. Photos and videos are commonly shared on social media, but you can ask posters to remove accidental appearances.
RECOMMENDED PARKING: Parking is a bit of a challenge. Some of us park on Holly St, directly across from the ICE Field Office. We haven’t had issues before, but parking enforcement is unpredictable. If concerned, take the light rail.
PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION: 🚌 Route 1 🚊 B Line
SPECIAL NOTES: 📣 Other groups demonstrate here as well, and not all of them are as committed to peaceful protesting. Stay alert, and be mindful of the immigrants entering and exiting the facility.
🥵 During hot weather, shade is limited. Bring water, sun protection, and consider a portable chair.
Coffee & Community is a great opportunity to get together with like-minded friends, discuss the news of the day, and take action to protect our democracy. It’s also an opportunity to work on social service projects that support people in our community who are less fortunate. So far this year we’ve donated shoes to Soles4Souls.org, donated tuition support for talented DACA students, donated clothing to families in Ukraine, and delivered life-sustaining Karma Bags to people experiencing homelessness.
