As part of todays #CommunitiesNotCages day of action, we are out here demanding that ICE shutdown both Virginia detention centers and release everyone! #ShutDownFarmville #ShutDownCaroline
To me, #CommunitiesNotCages means friends coming home. #ShutDownFarmville
Solidarity will all prisoners and those harmed by our policing, prison, and immigration detention systems
THREAD 👉🏽 ICE and private prison company Immigration Centers of America have subjected people detained at #ICAFarmville Detention Center in Virginia to the worst and largest current COVID-19 outbreak in ICE detention.
#ShutDownFarmville #FreeThemAllVA 1/6
Apparently that racist singer ol*ver anth*ny is from Farmville, VA. You know what else is in Farmville? A notoriously abusive ICE jail.
The private prison company that runs the ICE jail, ICA's contract is up for renewal in a month. Now is the time to #ShutDownFarmville .🧵
We all deserve to be free and treated with dignity, because our humanity does not depend on where we were born. Migrant detention in any form is incompatible with preserving human dignity.
That is why we must abolish ICE. #CommunitiesNotCages , #ShutDownFarmville & #ShutDownCDF .
Due to negligence & transfers, ICE & ICA subjected people detained at the Farmville Detention Center in VA to the largest #COVID19 outbreak in the detention system, resulting in the death of James Hill.
The Biden admin must #ShutDownFarmville .
#FirstTen to #CommunitiesNotCages
At the end of the day the state drives incarceration. Private or state-run, ALL detention must be abolished.
That’s why it’s #ShutDownFarmville AND #ShutDownCaroline .
NIJC:The pandemic has made the already deplorable conditions, neglect and abuse at ICA-Farmville even worse.
The only solution to curbing the spread of COVID-19 is to #FreeThemAll and #ShutDownFarmville . 3/

In 2015, a detained person @ ICA-Farmville was peppered sprayed in medical isolation, then stripped naked, placed in hand & leg shackles, then peppered sprayed twice. This is just 1 horror story we uncovered at ICA-Farmville. #ShutDownFarmville ow.ly/OTU350B3Vlm

TODAY: 140+ groups sent a letter to ICE & Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas today to demand the closure of ICA-Farmville ICE detention center, notorious for its brutality & inhumane conditions, & release those detained #ShutDownFarmville #CommunitiesNotCages rb.gy/radzd
Why #FirstTen to #CommunitiesNotCages is calling to #ShutDownFarmville :
While private prison company Immigration Centers of America reports Farmville's capacity at 722, reports of overcrowding have been recorded w/ many sleeping in 4-stack bunk beds or unfixed cots/ mattresses.
If you google “Farmville Detention Center” you’ll even get related information tracing back to as early as June 2020. This has been occurring for way longer than it should. #Detentioncenters are inhumane and should be shut down.
