National protests erupt against ICE detention center expansion plans

A national day of protests is scheduled for Saturday against the expansion of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention centers. Organized by the Disappeared in America campaign, the "Communities Not Cages" events aim to pressure the administration to cancel plans for new detention facilities. Protesters are demanding transparency and community consent, and are opposing public funding for the expansion, which is being facilitated by the "One Big Beautiful Bill" that could add over 116,000 beds. Resistance to these centers is emerging in both liberal and conservative areas, with legal challenges and local opposition citing concerns about infrastructure strain and environmental impact. AI
