🚨 Join us today from 4 - 6pm for our protest in Cascade, Maryland! Let’s get ICE out of Washington Couny and make sure the ICE detention center NEVER opens here! 🚨
Since our #WashingtonCounty government is trying not to hear us, let’s tell them twice! Two opportunities to protest the proposed concentration camp this week: 1.) Tuesday 4-6pm, Ft. Richie Gate, Cascade. 2.) Friday 7:30-9am, Artizan and Potomac, in Williamsport, #Maryland #NoKingsNoCamps
Is this something #datacenter - related? We see these being moved around in Williamsport, Maryland from time-to-time and they always have escorts and unmarked police vehicles behind them.
Our corrupt county commissioners thought banning public comment would make the issue go away. Spoiler alert: It did not. This is what 3 drums + 2 cowbells + a trumpet + a tambourine + 60 vuvuzelas sound like in a torrential downpour. #nokingsnocamps

Join us tomorrow morning for the rush hour protest against the ICE concentration camp DHS wants to open in Williamsport, Maryland! Friday 29th 7:30-9a.m., @ Artizan & Potomac in Williamsport, MD
According to @amnesty.org, ICE detainees are being held in filthy, inhumane conditions: Overflowing toilets. Feces near sleeping areas. Lights on 24/7. Cameras over toilets. Insects. Poor food and water. This is what ICE detention looks like. We cannot let the Facility open here in Maryland!
Join us tomorrow as we protest in the Boonsboro Square against the ICE warehouse DHS wants to build in Washington County, MD!
Amazon originally planned to use this warehouse to store packages. Now, our government wants to use it to store people. We cannot allow this concentration camp to open!
