not a great idea. ICE doesn't bring people back when they're done with you. you're just shoved out the door: no bag, no phone, no idea what state you're in.
In this case, folks are getting shipped from Minnesota to New Mexico to start with. Similar for a high-profile case in MA. ICE's standard practice seems to include quickly moving people across state lines. So closing down an ICE detention facility in one state doesn't seem like it necessarily makes it more likely for folks to end up stranded far from home.
And of course this is one of those cases where in some ways it gets worse as more people take a stand, but once enough people take a stand it stops. (I think a good comparison is the dichotomy between 'if guns are outlawed only bad guys have guns' and 'there's no way to prevent this says US, the only country where this happens'.)
