Meditative Witness at ICE Federal Data Center
Hosted by: Meditative Witness
Wednesdays, 4:00pm-5:00pm
Stand against ICE with friends and neighbors. We'll be at the DHS/ICE Debt Management Center at 166 Sycamore St in Williston. (Note that we'll be at the employee entrance /parking lot on the BACK side of the building facing Maple Tree Place.)
According to a recent article in the New York Times, ICE is using fines to harass and intimidate immigrants into self-deporting, including individuals with active cases pending and legal authorization to work. https://www.nytimes.com/2026/07/22/us/immigration-civil-fines-self-deportation.html?unlocked_article_code=1.1FA.YgwD.yE_2e9y4Yw5y&smid=url-share
Bring an American flag, or bring signs relating to ICE - their overreach, their aggressive tactics, their human rights violations. We want the community to know that ICE has offices in multiple locations in Williston, next to the places where we shop for school supplies, attend movies, and enjoy meals with friends.
All participants share responsibility of keeping this event peaceful and safe. Do not engaging negatively with those who disagree with us. And please follow the directions of the safety marshals in yellow or orange vests.
Join Champlain Valley Indivisible as we stand up against ICE on Wednesday afternoons at White Cap Business Park in Williston.
The ICE contractors at this location review social media posts of "persons of interest" and also spy on their friends, family, neighbors and co-workers. Help us inform passers-by that ICE operates in our neighborhood, and voice your opposition to ICE’s brutal tactics, lack of identification or body cams, and their total disregard for due process.
We stand in the public right-of-way along Industrial Ave where our right to peaceful assembly is protected by the First Amendment. Caution: there is no sidewalk or curb. Please register so we know to expect you and can reach you with any last-minute changes. Bring an American flag and/or signs that refer specifically to ICE.
Please park on Avenue C across from the main entrance to White Cap, or at Rossignol Park just north on Industrial Ave, but DO NOT park in the White Cap lot.
A core principle behind all Indivisible events is a commitment to nonviolent action. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values.

A silent meditative practice held in front of the ICE Federal Data Center. The aspiration of this group is not to judge the people who work in the building, but to sit in witness to the attitudes and policies that cause suffering.
