Revoke the Permit for the ICE Detention Facility in Portland
Portland City Council must appeal and revoke the 2011 permit for the operation of the ICE Field Station (detention and processing facility) in Portland, Oregon.
The individual owners and operators of the detention center profit from violating basic Human Rights.
They profit from the separation of children and families.
They profit from the trafficking of human beings across state lines.
The undersigned do not support the operation of this facility within the city limits of Portland, Oregon. We ask the City Council to review, appeal, and revoke the permit to end the inhumane treatment of fellow human beings and close the facility.

Why is this important?
Please sign this petition to state your opposition to the ICE Detention Center in Portland, Oregon. By signing, you let the City Council and mayor know that you do not approve of the permission they granted for ICE to operate within city limits. Your signature will add your support to our collective demand to revoke the permit for ICE to operate within city limits, and require the closure of the ICE Detention Center in Portland, Oregon.
This is important because the operation of this center violates the targeted people's human rights. People who are picked up by ICE are taken to this transport facility, and then trafficked across state lines without information regarding where they are going or how long. Meanwhile, profits are made by private individuals at every step. Together, we can take a stand against these human rights violations and end the operation of ICE in Portland, Oregon.
