Applaud Glendale for Ending ICE Detention Contract

In a bold stand for justice, accountability, and community values, the City of Glendale has officially terminated its contract with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). This decision marks a powerful step away from the Trump administration’s harmful immigration agenda—and toward a future built on dignity and trust.

For years, Glendale housed ICE detainees in its city jail. But local leaders have now made it clear: the city will not be complicit in federal immigration enforcement that divides families and fuels fear. By ending this contract, Glendale reaffirmed its commitment to public safety, transparency, and compassion—and aligned with California’s broader values of inclusivity and human rights.

The move comes amid growing unrest and concern over the Trump administration’s heavy-handed immigration actions, including the recent deployment of National Guard troops to Los Angeles. In contrast, Glendale is showing what real leadership looks like: putting people and principles first.

Add your name to thank Glendale’s leaders for taking a stand—for immigrants, for families, and for a better California. Let’s celebrate this win for local accountability and community-led progress.
