Activists Rally Against Detention Conditions at Alexandria Deportation Hub
Activists in Alexandria, Louisiana, revealed concerns over the proposed migrant family facility and witnessed deportations at the Alexandria Staging Facility, a key deportation hub. The facility, authorized for use by the England Airpark Authority, raises significant human rights issues among local advocates, emphasizing the inhumane conditions of immigrant detention.

The Alexandria Staging Facility at Alexandria International Airport has been identified as a central point for deportation flights, prompting a gathering of 68 activists to protest its operations. Activists witnessed detainees being loaded onto GEO Group flights, expressing outrage over their treatment and the proposed use of an old Air Force barrack for a self-migrating family facility.
CENLA Activism organizers reported contamination concerns at the site, described as a combination jail and airport for ICE. Advocacy focuses on the inhumane conditions of detention, with calls for increased awareness and opposition to family detention practices. Activists argue that the facility perpetuates fear and suffering among vulnerable populations, emphasizing the need for humane treatment of immigrants.
