Weekly Protest: NO ICE FACILITY IN SURPRISE!

📍 Bell Rd & Civic Center Dr, Surprise, AZ
🕘 Every Saturday | 9:00–10:30 AM

We are protesting weekly in Surprise, AZ in response to the ongoing overreach of ICE across the country, and the massive ICE facility coming to Surprise.

A core principle behind all Indivisible events is a commitment to nonviolent action. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values and to act lawfully at these events. Weapons of any kind should not be brought to events.

As residents of Arizona’s 8th & 9th Congressional Districts, we are calling on our representatives, Abe Hamadeh and Paul Gosar, to publicly address and oppose federal enforcement actions that endanger civil rights and community safety. Protecting constituents from government overreach is a core responsibility of elected office.

Our demands:

• No ICE facilities in Surprise
• No new funding for ICE without real reform
• Investigate the killings of Renee Good & Alex Pretti
• End aggressive dragnet operations and mass surveillance
• Restore transparency, accountability, and due process

Suggested messages for signs:

• NO ICE FACILITY IN SURPRISE
• JUSTICE FOR RENEE GOOD
• JUSTICE FOR ALEX PRETTI
• FREEZE ICE FUNDING
• END ICE NOW
• BELIEVE YOUR EYES NOT TRUMP’S LIES
• NO ICE IN AZ
• DUE PROCESS FOR ALL

This protest is rooted in nonviolence, clarity, and solidarity. We welcome community members who believe no agency should operate above the law and that state power must be constrained by constitutional rights and public oversight.

Bring signs, bring water, and bring your voice.

Parking: Plenty of parking is available on the south side of Bell Rd. Please stay out of the urgent care parking lot at the corner and avoid parking near business entrances.

Peaceful protest. No violence. No harassment. No escalation.
