For Immediate Release: Monday, May 18th, 2026

Baldwin, MI — A month after hundreds of people held in immigration detention at the North Lake Processing Center launched rolling hunger and work strikes across multiple units in response to inhumane conditions, inadequate medical care, and legal delays, new reports and organizing have continued to highlight the urgency of their unmet demands.

Owned and operated by the Florida-based GEO Group since its construction as a for-profit youth prison in the late 1990s, North Lake is currently the largest detention center in the Midwest. The strikes beginning last month—which spread without formal leadership and were met with threats of retaliation from GEO staff—echo earlier chapters in the facility’s history. Extensively documented hunger strikes at North Lake in 2020 led to blanket denials from the GEO Group, just as Immigration and Customs Enforcement attempted to deny recent actions despite participants’ testimony to attorneys, family members, and reporters.

The partnership between GEO and ICE has faced new scrutiny in the past week following the announcement that David Venturella, a former GEO executive, will lead the federal agency.

Attack back on Uhaul and Budget

Three UHaul and Budget trucks were vandalized this weekend in response to their role in the South Shore invasion this past week.

Federal agents violently attacked a residential building in the middle of the night using the full force of their military equipment including flashbang grenades and Blackhawk helicopters. Reports estimate about 300 pigs from multiple federal agencies took part. Residents described doors kicked in and apartments ransacked as families were dragged out into the night and kidnapped, stolen from their homes to be handcuffed and trapped in unmarked vans. One resident described the attack as a “siege” and multiple witnesses feared the traumatic impact this would have on the children living in the building and attending the nearby school. Photo documentation shows federal agents conducted the siege using Budget and Uhaul trucks, which is a direct violation of their terms of service, in addition to being morally reprehensible.

We call on other friends in the city to join us as we justly retaliate against Budget and UHaul for being complicit in fascist attacks against our neighbors. It doesn’t take much: it’s easy to spot the trucks as you take a walk or a bike ride around your neighborhood, especially near the end of the month when folks are moving. If you go when the sun’s up, it’ll be easier to identify what vulnerability on the truck you want to attack (glass, exhaust pipe, gas tank, tires, etc.), and easier to scout for any potential surveillance risks. Once you’ve found a few targets, come back after the sun’s gone down and let ‘er rip!

To Budget and UHaul: the damage done to your trucks is nowhere near what’s deserved for your role in this shameful and disgusting act. We will not stop until you sever your ties with these fascist pigs! If you attack our city, we will attack back!

ICE Vehicle Tires Slashed at Hotel

Anonymous submission to Unsalted Counter Info.

On the half moon tires were cut on 3 suspected ICE vehicles (including 2 vans) at a hotel where ICE is staying. Multiple other vehicles and the parking area were spray painted to tell the hotel & its guests that they can not make deals with ICE. Fuck the Hilton for hosting fascist kidnappers.

Together we can make hell for ICE and their collaborators. Find their weak spots and imagine the possibilities! Any Hilton, Marriot, Hampton (and more) can be a target– even if ICE isnt sleeping at that location, no bussiness should be colluding with ICE.
Test your tools beforehand!

No one is illegal on stolen land.
