Greater Assabet Indivisible Network (GAIN) invites you to stand in solidarity with immigrants and resistance to ICE and their cruel and lawless detention of our neighbors Thursdays from 11am-1pm, starting September 4. Regardless of any other political views, you are welcome to join us and demand Justice 4 All so long as you do so non-violently.
Our friends at Bearing Witness have been hosting gatherings at this location for many weeks. We are an unaffiliated group, but very much aligned with their values and mission. Our goal is to add to the total number of hours that citizens stand in non-violent opposition to the deplorable detainment conditions at this location. If you have been to Bearing Witness on Wednesdays, we would love to have you at Justice 4 All Thursdays.
Schedule (Starting Thursday, September 4 – more dates to follow)
11:00-11:30 Welcome; music; announcements
11:30-12:30 Stand with signs along District Ave
12:30-1:00 Optional short march down to Mall Rd.
What happens at this ICE office?
ICE personnel depart from District Ave. in unmarked vans with tinted windows on missions to abduct immigrants across New England. Immigrants may also show up at the office for appointments. The facility on District Ave was never intended to be a detention center, yet immigration lawyers and media interviews reveal that people are now being housed here in conditions that have been called “abysmal” and “unsanitary.”
What to expect at Justice 4 All?
We are committed to nonviolence, and we stand peacefully with signs outside the facility. We do not block the entrance, we do not physically approach ICE agents as they walk to/from the parking lot, and we do not block traffic on District Ave.
Signs
This is a very targeted action outside the ICE facility, so it’s not the venue for protesting other causes. Even though we care deeply about other issues, while outside ICE we must remain focused on immigration.
Parking and other tips
For parking, please use the Macy’s overflow lot (75 Burlington Mall Road, follow signs for Macy’s, see map). For those with mobility challenges, please keep in mind that the lots closest to ICE — the FAA lot beside ICE and the BAE Systems lot directly across the street from ICE — have both been blocked off. There are restaurants nearby (Clover, Pressed Cafe, Chipotle) to get food and use the bathroom. Before arriving, please consider your own self-preservation (citizenship status) and self-care (sunscreen, hydration, etc.).

Accompaniment at ICE HQ - Defend Blanca
2025-09-16 07:00 | ICE Office Burlington, 1000 District Ave, Burlington, MA, 01803, United States
Sign up: bit.ly/BlancaUpdates
The community showed up for Blanca in Burlington in August. Now, one month later,Blanca is being ordered to return to Burlington ICE headquarters where again she faces the risk of being detained on the spot or being given a 2-week notice to self deport.
Her check-in comes right in the middle of another surge where masked and violent ICE agents flood our state to carry out mass arrests in heightened numbers. Blanca’s case is one of thousands of immigrants in Massachusetts alone who have been kidnapped by ICE or are at risk of being detained in just the last few months. Another kidnapping trap, ICE check-ins now carry increased risk of being detained on the spot. These federal actions do not make our streets safer, but rather terrorize us all. We need resources for what actually makes us all safe – housing, education, healthcare and good jobs
Blanca’s situation is especially acute because she is a survivor of childhood polio living with physical disabilities and mobility issues. Countless detainees describe being denied the medicines and medical care they rely on daily while in detention. Her potential detention or deportation would not only mean being ripped from family and community but probable physical suffering or even death without medical treatment.
