ICE protest at Mexican Heritage Plaza in San Jose May 30th 2026

ICE’s practices are notorious
Protesters
Many community members and organizations were in attendance


On May 30th, 2026, in San Jose, hundreds of people were demanding to stop the proposed U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) concentration camps in Gilroy and Dublin. There have been up to 51 immigrants that have died in detention, which is too many! The Federal Correctional Institution (FCI) Dublin was closed last year because of survivor-led organizing after years of horrific staff sexual abuse, retaliation, and medical neglect.

ICE Out of Elmwood

The 46 shoes represent the ICE detainees
In unity with the 46 ICE detainees

Melt ICE





On Wednesday, March 4, 2026, a local coalition of community groups, held a spirited rally and march in front of the Elmwood County Jail in Milpitas, California, denouncing ICE. Forty-six people have been detained by ICE for over six months since their release from Elmwood County Jail. ICE immediately re-arrested them when they were released from Elmwood Jail. ICE continues to target immigrants who wish to return home to their families, and law enforcement authorities often cooperate. The Santa Clara County Counsel and County Sheriffs said that rearresting people leaving Elmwood does not violate the community’s sanctuary policy. However a San Jose NAACP spokesperson speculated that the Santa Clara County Sheriff’s Office probably notified ICE about the release of the 46 detainees. All Rights Reserved
