Script for Senator Mike Lee (R)
202-224-5444
“Hello, my name is [Your Name], and I’m a constituent from [Your City/Zip Code]. I’m calling to express my strong opposition to the federal government’s purchase of the warehouse at 6020 West 300 South for an ICE detention center.
Reports show the DHS paid $145 million—nearly $50 million over the assessed value. This is a massive waste of taxpayer money. Furthermore, the federal government is attempting to override our local zoning and utility limits, which is a direct violation of local sovereignty. I ask Senator Lee to oppose the $3.8 billion in detention expansion funding that is fueling these wasteful warehouse conversions. We need a solution that respects Utah’s resources and the rule of law, not federal overreach in our backyard."
Script for Senator John Curtis (R)
202-224-5251
"Hi, my name is [Your Name], and I’m a constituent from [Your City/Zip Code]. I’m calling to thank Senator Curtis for his recent comments regarding the lack of transparency in the ICE warehouse purchase at 6020 West 300 South.
However, I am deeply concerned that this project is still on the table. The facility is a massive drain on our local infrastructure—specifically our water and sewer systems—and it bypasses our local zoning laws. I urge the Senator to use his oversight role to ensure the current federal pause on this 'mega center' becomes a permanent cancellation. Salt Lake City should not be a 'hub' for mass detention. I ask Senator Curtis to oppose any further funding for the conversion of this warehouse.”
