ICE Our of NORCOR | 2018

On May 1st, 2017 a hunger strike was launched by migrants detained at NORCOR, a four-county public jail in The Dalles, OR that had a contract with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). That same week, local organizers with the Gorge ICE Resistance began to host daily vigils outside NORCOR.

These illustrations were created as part of the Interfaith Movement from Immigrant Justice’s (IMIRJ) statewide organizing leading up to a solidarity outside of NORCOR. Clergy members allowed inside heard countless stories of bad conditions, the outrageous cost of phone calls, the profound effect a “No Visitation” policy is having on families and the morale of those detained, and why NORCOR's contract with ICE is in violation of our state’s 30+ year-old sanctuary law. The images are based on compiled stories from migrants detained at NORCOR.

After intensive and consistent organizing by the NORCOR Community Resources Coalition, Gorge ICE Resistance, the Rural Organizing Project and other groups, the NORCOR’s Board of Directors voted unanimously in support of ending the jail’s adult and juvenile contracts with Immigration and Customs Enforcement on August 20th!
