Statement on ICE Property Purchase
SALT LAKE CITY, March 12, 2026 – We are aware that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has purchased a property in Salt Lake City. We are working to understand the agency’s plans for the site and the impacts on the surrounding community. Transparency about the purpose and potential impacts of this facility is essential.
Our neighbors—no matter where they were born—deserve safety, dignity and the opportunity to thrive. News like this undermines those goals for our community. Salt Lake City stands for inclusion and belonging. We are pressing for answers, considering our options and closely watching how this affects nearby neighborhoods.
