Hang up on ICE!
Sign your name to oppose the ICE Call Center!
Tennesseans, ICE & DHS are taking our land & building a call center facility for law enforcement agencies to expedite their cruel, harmful, and costly mass deportation across the nation. First, they tried Adams, Tennessee, and after backlash, they've now set their sights on Donelson. This call center is an attempt at streamlining ICE & law enforcement collaboration across the entire nation, with a special focus on targeting and deporting those who came to the U.S. as unaccompanied children.
At a time when we are all struggling to make ends meet and put food on the table, this administration and certain Tennessee politicians have prioritized pouring millions of dollars into terrorizing our communities and stealing our tax dollars for their own political gain. ICE is a threat not only to our immigrant neighbors, but to all of us - and to the basic pillars of our democratic society. ICE’s plans to expand staff and physical space into Nashville are part of a nationwide assault on local communities, our friends, families, and neighbors. Let’s make our message clear: we need to hang up on ICE.

¡Firma para oponerte al centro de llamadas de ICE!
Gente de Tennessee. ICE y el Departamento de Seguridad Nacional (DHS) se están adueñando de nuestras tierras para construir un centro de llamadas. Quieren que las agencias de la ley agilicen sus deportaciones masivas por todo el país, las cuales son muy crueles, dañinas y costosas. Primero intentaron hacerlo en Adams, Tennessee, pero como la gente protestó, ahora pusieron la mira en Donelson. Con este centro de llamadas buscan facilitar que ICE y la policía trabajen juntos en todo el país, enfocándose especialmente en perseguir y deportar a quienes llegaron a Estados Unidos siendo niños y sin la compañía de sus padres.
En estos momentos en que a todos nos cuesta ganarnos la vida y poner comida en la mesa, este gobierno y algunos políticos de Tennessee prefieren gastar millones de dólares en aterrorizar a nuestras comunidades. Además, se están robando el dinero de nuestros impuestos para su propio beneficio político. ICE es una amenaza no solo para nuestros vecinos inmigrantes, sino para todos nosotros y para las bases de nuestra sociedad democrática. Los planes que tiene ICE para traer más personal y construir instalaciones en Nashville son parte de un ataque nacional contra las comunidades locales, nuestros amigos, familias y vecinos. Dejemos bien claro nuestro mensaje: tenemos que Ponerle un Alto a ICE.

HANG UP ON ICE: Group Facilitation Guide
This guide is a resource to facilitate conversations with community members and concerned neighbors about the National ICE Cruelty Hotline [Call Center]. Feel free to make a copy of this document for use and adaptation of the following questions. Relevant FAQs (developed August 24, 2026) are included on the second page of this document.
Connect around core values:
What is most concerning to you about this Cruelty Center & why?
What is at stake if this Cruelty Center opens in our community (or anywhere in TN)?
What does this Cruelty Center mean for Tennessee’s legacy of welcoming, volunteering/neighborliness, and kindness?
Create opportunity for curiosity & discussion:
Many people do not realize how difficult it is to go through the immigration process. For many, it often takes over 10 years to become a naturalized U.S. citizen. Does anyone here have a personal immigration story that is similar?
What stories have you heard about immigration that have shaped what you think? How do those stories shape your perspective on this administration’s actions?
Has anyone had an experience this year that has changed their mind or (re)shaped their view on immigration?
Present the truth that our needs can be met – and our tax dollars should not be used to fund cruelty, harm, or family separation.
ICE & DHS have proven themselves to be untrustworthy agencies all across the country. Back in June, they received a quarter trillion dollar budget from Congress…and we are seeing firsthand our tax dollars being used to fund cruelty and harm.
What would it look like if our tax dollars actually went towards things that our communities need & have been asking for, such as healthcare, education, and lower cost of living?
