Petition for Concord, NC officials to stand against ICE detention centers
A recent New York Times report (Feb. 18, 2026) identified Concord, North Carolina as a potential site for a massive 1,500‑bed ICE detention warehouse. Although the City of Concord has said it has not been formally contacted and the owner of the warehouse most often linked to these reports has denied involvement, that does not remove the threat. The elimination of one specific site does not stop the federal government from pursuing other local properties.
Why This Matters for Concord
An ICE detention warehouse would bring long‑term, irreversible consequences to our community:
• Overloaded Infrastructure
Our water and sewer systems are already stretched. A limited amount of sewer capacity is granted to select construction projects each quarter while other sites must wait and reapply.
• Strained Emergency Services
A facility of this size would divert medical, fire, and law‑enforcement resources — all paid for by local taxpayers.
• Economic Harm
Converting industrial land for federal detention use would reduce property tax revenue,limit future economic development, and negatively impact nearby businesses.
• Community Safety & Well‑Being
Large‑scale detention sites create fear, instability, and uncertainty for residents acrossthe community. We want all of our neighbors to feel safe.
We Need Our Local Leaders to Act
Communities stop these facilities only when their elected officials take a clear stand. We,the undersigned, call on the Concord City Council and Mayor to publicly oppose any ICE detention warehouse in our city.
By signing this petition, you are urging our leaders to protect Concord’s infrastructure, economy, and neighborhoods — and to keep decisions about our community’s future in local hands.
Add your name to show that Concord stands together.
