US EditionJapanese Americans, Allies Protest Proposal to Reopen Dublin Prison as ICE Detention Center
ALAMEDA COUNTY, CALIFORNIA, JUL 20 – Japanese American activists link ICE's doubling of arrests since January 2025 to historical injustices, protesting the reopening of a prison with a legacy of abuse and WWII internment parallels.
- On Saturday, July 19, 2025, hundreds protested at Don Biddle Park in Dublin against the proposed reopening of the former federal women’s prison as an ICE detention center.
- The protest followed the Trump administration's plan to repurpose the FCI Dublin facility, which closed in April 2024 after a class action lawsuit revealed years of sexual abuse and poor conditions.
- Japanese American groups and immigrant advocates compared current ICE raids to World War II internment of over 125,000 Japanese Americans without due process under the Alien Enemies Act.
- Coalition member Marissa Seko described inmates’ living conditions as horrible, with near-impossible medical care and abuse, while Rep. Mark DeSaulnier confirmed no plans to reopen and pledged continued federal oversight.
- The protest underscored ongoing activism against reopening, reflecting fears that intensified ICE arrests since January 2025 may repeat historic injustices toward immigrant communities.
