🙌 A big thanks to all who wrote, called, & protested the sale of the Ashland #Virginia warehouse to DHS/ICE.

Thanks to the Canadian activists who organized a boycott of BC-based Pattison Developments, despite everything the "administration" has done to damage relations between our countries.
Hanover County facility sought by ICE is no longer for sale
Updated Jan. 30: Jim Pattison Developments says "the transaction ... will not be proceeding."

Wow, #RVA you did NOT disappoint! We had (by estimates) at least 600 people show up to send the message that ICE is not welcome in Hanover County! Maybe north of that! The board listened and directed staff to inform the regime that they oppose an ICE detention facility here!

Trump has been successful betting that Americans are more racist than they let on for the past 10 years. I think this just hit a wall with Minnesota. Abolish ICE is becoming mainstream.

He will either back down or escalate things so he can declare martial law and suspend midterms. No in-between.

RE: Hanover Co Board of Supervisors meeting Wednesday (1/28) 🧵

What to expect:
• 3pm: closed session; Board is getting briefed by Planning & reviewing with Legal
• 6pm: normal public Board meeting starts; Hanover residents who register for "Citizen Time" can voice opposition to the #ICE facility

Oppose #ICE in Central VA?

Hanover County's Board of Supervisors has 30 days to respond to a request to turn a 43-acre site & warehouse into an ICE jail.

Come protest on Jan 28th at 5:30pm (or earlier!) before the BoS's next meeting at the Hanover County Govt Complex (7516 County Complex Road).

Violence is always unacceptable, and threats of violence have no place in public discourse. Our thoughts are with Charlie Kirk and his family.
