[Peace] Kankakee county jail ICE detention center / invitation to anti-detention rally Sat. Sept. 1, 1pm.

[Karen Medina]

Let's go to the anti-Immigration(and)CustomsEnforcement demonstration
in Kankakee, Illinois. This event is very important because Kankakee
County’s Jerome Combs Detention Center houses on average 150 ICE
detainees per day!
! The Kankakee Sheriff wants to expand 32,000 additional square feet
AND improve the Kankakee airport to expedite deportations. Kankakee is
not the only ICE detention center in Illinois, but groups in Kankakee
are taking a stand and have invited us to join them !

Shoes will be displayed to symbolize those we have lost through
deportations. Bring a pair of shoes (or two) to donate.  (After the
event, shoes will be gifted to the Interfaith Community for Detained
Immigrants and the Salvation Army).

Distance: 83 miles one way,
Time: 1 hour 20 minutes
Route: I-57
Rally start time: 1pm
Public transportation:
* The Greyhound bus does not go there Saturday, September 1st.
* The train does go.

Rally to end ICE detention and expansion in Kankakee County.
One less: Who will fill these shoes?
