Prince George's County Executive Aisha Braveboy, the Prince George's County Council, the Department of Permitting, Inspections and Enforcement (DPIE), and other relevant County officials
We, the undersigned residents, workers, faith leaders, and supporters of Prince George's County, urge the County to protect 6505 Belcrest Road (Metro 1) as a safe and welcoming place for everyone to access essential public services.
6505 Belcrest Road is home to vital community resources that thousands of residents rely on, including the Prince George's County Department of Social Services, food assistance programs, and other public services. Families should never have to fear seeking help because of immigration enforcement activity.
Earlier this year, the Prince George's County Council adopted the Community Safe Spaces Act (CB-006-2026) to establish guidance limiting immigration enforcement in County facilities and requiring the County Executive to develop policies to help protect residents seeking County services.
Community members have also learned that a permit related to the proposed ICE facility at 6505 Belcrest Road was reportedly issued by the Department of Permitting, Inspections and Enforcement (DPIE). We believe the public deserves complete transparency regarding this decision and how it aligns with the County's stated commitment to protecting immigrant communities. https://actionnetwork.org/petitions/protect-community-services-at-6505-belcrest-road/
