The construction of new detention facilities and expansion of existing ones is concerning, as it suggests a troubling shift towards the normalization of mass incarceration and population control. While the stated purpose may be immigration enforcement, history has shown that such infrastructure can be repurposed to target dissidents, activists, and marginalized communities under the guise of national security or public order. This path leads us down a dangerous road, one that undermines civil liberties and due process in favor of unchecked executive power. We must resist the further buildup of this detention apparatus, which profits private corporations while stripping people of their fundamental rights. Investing in walls and cells contradicts our nation's principles and economic reality, which depends on immigrant labor. I urge you to oppose the construction of new detention centers and instead work towards humane immigration policies that uphold American values of freedom and justice for all. The normalization of fear-based governance poses a grave threat to our democracy. We cannot allow the architecture of repression to take deeper root in our society.
