Keep ICE Out of Georgia

What ICE is doing here, how it shows up locally, and what people in Cherokee County can stop

What is happening in Georgia right now

Immigration enforcement in Georgia is expanding through detention infrastructure, logistics contracts, and cooperation with local law enforcement. These expansions are not announced to the public as immigration policy. They show up as land purchases, warehouse leases, transportation contracts, and law-enforcement agreements.

Once these systems are in place, enforcement becomes faster, broader, and harder to interrupt.

That is why local intervention happens before facilities open, contracts are normalized, or cooperation becomes routine.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement operates federally, but enforcement depends on local conditions.

How ICE activity reaches Cherokee County

In and around Cherokee County, ICE activity connects through:

  • Regional detention facilities and transport routes

  • Local law enforcement data sharing

  • County and municipal land use decisions

  • Vendors and contractors operating locally

These are decision points, not inevitabilities.

How ICE expansion actually happens

ICE growth follows a repeatable pattern:

  1. Contracts are issued through the Department of Homeland Security

  2. Property or warehouse space is purchased or leased

  3. Local zoning and permitting proceed quietly

  4. Local agencies normalize cooperation

  5. Enforcement activity increases

Each step creates a chance for interruption, delay, or rejection.
