According to the Brookings Institute Approximately 60,000 people are being detained in ICE detention facilities in the United States and approximately 400,000 people have been booked in detention centers managed by the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency.  Many of the people held in ICE detention have children who are either detained in ICE facilities, or they are wards of the state in which they live.  Either way children are separated from their parents, siblings and extended family.  Children shouldn't be separated from their families while their parent's immigration status is being adjudicated.  Many of the children caught up in the recent immigration dragnets are American citizens and some have even been deported along with their parents which is against their constitutional rights. 

Join us on September 26, 2026, from 1 pm - 3 pm in Tucker, GA for a march to demand an end to the anti-family, anti-child policies of ICE.  The march will begin at our office in the Realty Associates building located at 3350 Northlake Pkwy NE behind the Northlake Mall. 

The march will begin at our office in the Realty Associates office located at 3350 Northlake Pkwy behind the Northlake Mall and proceed down Parklake Dr. past the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services offices (USCIS) office to LaVista Rd.  We will turn left onto LaVista Rd and proceed across I-285 to Northlake Pkwy where we will cross LaVista Rd and turn right to proceed back across I- 285 and down LaVista Rd.  We will proceed to Henderson Mill Rd and cross LaVista rRd and proceed to Parklake Dr turn left and return to our office in the Realty Associates office at 3350 Northlake Rd. 

We will also be accepting canned and non-perishable food for local food banks Toco Hills Alliance, Midtown Cares, North Decatur United Methodist Church and Community Food Center.  You may drop off your donation at our office, or you may visit our website www.pocketbookbrigade.org to make a monetary donation. 

This will be a peaceful protest we are engaging off duty DCPD officers to provide security.  The entire route is wheelchair accessible.  We will have crossing guards at every intersection to provide safe crossing for march participants.
