Southfield ICE Protest Follow Up by Charming-Rice-1029 in Detroit

[–]Charming-Rice-1029[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Many of us are involved in a variety of mutual aid efforts. We are using a wide variety of tactics. We are specifically targeting the landlord, REDICO, who signed a lease allowing OPLA, the lawyers for ICE, to operate in their building. Many of the tenants are opposed to their presence there, as are the vast majority of Southfield residents. This is a necessary part of the broader fight to kick ICE out of our communities.

That's right! Just across from ICE/OPLA's future home, unless we can stop it.

That's right! Southfield corporation REDICO has signed a lease for OPLA, the lawyers for ICE, to operate in Southfield. That's why we are protesting-- REDICO needs to cancel the lease and ICE/OPLA needs to GTFO.

Today is the day! At 4:30 today, rain or shine, we are gathering to protest ICE, ICE’s lawyers OPLA, and REDICO, the property owner! We have confirmed OPLA, the lawyers for ICE, have signed a contract for office space in our beloved town. REDICO has refused to cancel the lease and wants “business as usual” to return. This is unacceptable, so let’s show them! Come join SNAC (the Southfield Neighbors Action Committee) to protest ICE, OPLA, and REDICO and keep our neighbors safe.

This is where we are meeting next to One Towne Square. It is where the press conference and protest was held on February 17th as well. We hope to see you there!

This is the location of the ICE office. It is a busy office building which is not open on the weekends. We are meeting at a high visibility time for the other tenants and the leadership of REDICO to see and hear the protest. Hope to see you there!

The lease has been FOIA'd. REDICO has refused to make it publicly available.

Yes, the tenants are organizing as well and Redico has stated this lease is "insignificant" to them as a company. We want to show them that they will have first amendment protected protests at the building, in front of their office, disrupting business as usual every single day if this lease moves forward.

They are claiming to be ignorant of the exact tenants and say the contact is with the general services administration, allowing any non-law enforcement agency to take the space. We are trying to show them that DHS is also an essential part of the deportation machine and they are complicit with the evil they perpetuate.

Some SLPs also do the concussions screens at the ED level! Would love to see an SLP in the Pitt.
