Massive applause for the excellent reporting from @couriernewsroom and @repescobar breaking this story down.

THE WIN: People power stopped this. 22 of the 23 warehouses the Trump administration planned to convert into mass detention camps have now been abandoned or paused — because communities organized and refused to let it happen.

THE PLAN: DHS quietly moved to buy 23 industrial warehouses for a combined $1 billion, aiming for a nationwide detention network with a projected capacity of 96,000 people. Former ICE Director Todd Lyons described the vision as “Amazon Prime, but with human beings.” The scheme was spearheaded by Stephen Miller, who pushed ICE to hit 3,000 arrests a day and set a goal of one million deportations in Trump’s first year back — a plan that led to illegal detentions and the killing of two US citizens, Renée Nicole Good and Alex Pretti, by ICE agents in Minneapolis in January.

THE PEOPLE STOPPED IT. Once the warehouse locations became public, ordinary residents organized fast. In Surprise, AZ, protesters packed city council chambers after learning of a $70 million warehouse purchase from press reports, not DHS. In Minnesota, community pressure got warehouse owners in Woodbury and Shakopee to pull out of ICE deals entirely. State attorneys general filed lawsuits over sites in Michigan, Arizona, and Maryland. That pressure forced DHS Secretary Kristi Noem’s firing in March and ICE Director Todd Lyons’s resignation in April, and stalled the rest of the plan.

Just this month, Rep. Veronica Escobar (D-TX) announced the last major closure: a 1-million-square-foot site outside Socorro, TX.

WHAT’S LEFT: One site in San Antonio, TX is still moving forward; two more, in Arizona and Maryland, stay paused under lawsuits — organizers say the fight isn’t over.
