ICE Warehouses Update: DHS Withdraws PA Environmental Hearing Board Appeal
In response to substantial public pushback, of which Green Amendments For The Generations played a significant part in due to our legal challenge to the proposed Schuylkill County ICE detention center, the Department of Homeland Security has now formally withdrawn their appeal to the PA Environmental Hearing Board.
In addition to the implications for human rights, the proposed center would have put huge strains on local water supplies and sewage systems, threatening drinking water quantity and quality AND water availability for emergency services–thus posing a direct threat to Pennsylvanian’s constitutional environmental rights under Article I, Section 27 of the PA State Constitution (also known as the Pennsylvania Green Amendment).
Background: On April 13, 2026, Green Amendments For The Generations filed a legal petition to help stop the Department of Homeland Security from advancing an effort to transform a Pennsylvania warehouse in Schuylkill County into an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention facility. The petition was in response to a DHS appeal to the PA Environmental Hearing Board, in which the federal agency sought amendments to PA Department of Environmental Protection-issued administrative orders that laid out the requirements of law, as well as additional prohibitions and limitations, regarding drinking water and sewage services for the site. On June 23, 2026, Green Amendments For The Generations’ petition to intervene was granted.
On July 22, 2026, DHS withdrew their appeal to the PA Environmental Hearing Board. There was no reason provided.
States Are Embracing their Leadership Role in Environmental Protection Through Pursuit & Passage of Green Amendments
As more and more communities directly witness and experience the impacts of climate change, and basic federal environmental protections continue to roll back, states are increasingly turning to the Green Amendment in order to embrace and grow their leadership role in environmental protection, and to leave a legacy of protection for children and future generations.
In this opinion piece printed in the Arizona press, Arizona State Senator Lauren Kuby, who works closely with Maya van Rossum and Green Amendments For The Generations well lays out the historic moment when it comes to our environment and the powerful role Green Amendment leadership can play.
“Women Mind The Water” podcast features an interview that includes the founding story of Green Amendments.
Listen to Maya tell the story of how the Pennsylvania Green Amendment defeated fossil fuel expansion in the state and inspired her to found a national movement HERE.
Legislator Cites ‘Green Amendment’ as a Demonstration of her Commitment to Communities & the Environment
At a recent public event, Wisconsin Green Amendment Legislative Champion touted the Green Amendment as demonstrating his commitment to environmental protection:
“… That’s why I’ve fought for legislation that protects our air, our water, and our public lands. From the Green Amendment to investments in watershed and pollination protections, we know that protecting Wisconsin’s natural beauty means protecting Wisconsinites.”
Representative Jenna Jacobson

After 250 Years Its Time For Life, Liberty, & a Healthy Environment
The Founding Fathers justified their radical act of independence by arguing that the People had the right to change their government when it ceased to protect their fundamental rights: “whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it.”
After 250 years, our Green Amendment movement is putting this inspiration to work for the environment.
