The article describes a protest by La Resistencia against the Northwest ICE Processing Center in Tacoma Tideflats, illustrating the harsh realities immigrants face. Detained individuals, many from Latin America, encounter a hostile environment as they seek refuge from their nation's unlivable conditions created by colonialism and imperialism. The GEO Group profits from operating such detention centers under contracts with ICE, raising ethical concerns about the treatment of vulnerable populations. The protest serves not only as a demand for justice but also a stark reminder of the human cost of immigration policies.
Concertina wire spiraled down the top of the chain-link fence marking the western edge of E. J Street. A nearby train engine billowed diesel exhaust, contaminating the wind.
The detention center imprisons people who are suspected of violating civil immigration laws. While immigrants detained in the facility are from countries across the globe, many are from Latin America.
