ICE has now spent over $2.2 BILLION on purchasing 4 private prisons from CoreCivic, with the company banking half a billion dollars on the most recent sale. Of course, ICE will not actually operate these facilities; CoreCivic keeps the contracts to run these places for the foreseeable future.

People are scared, exhausted, and angry. ICE is using American tax dollars to fund mistreatment and abuse at detention centers across our country. Republicans and this president are ok with us being a country that implements this kind of cruelty, but we cannot be. This is not ok.

Gill: All 100 senators last week passed a non-binding resolution condemning any pardon for Ghislaine Maxwell. They're simultaneously considering confirming the guy who met with her and moved her to a low-security facility as the top cop in the United States. That is so insane to me.

If someone is complying with an ankle monitor, they're proving they'll appear in court. So why are more than 77k people still in immigration detention when effective alternatives exist? There never seems to be funding for ICE body cameras, but there's funding for ankle monitors #TPS holders.

As a result of President Trump's mass deportation agenda, ICE agents are shooting people in the streets, and killing people in immigration detention. Our leaders must act now, and pass a bill that would defend our immigrant neighbors. Take action now: https://bit.ly/44XH6kl

TPS for Haitians expired yesterday. Community members, business owners, and families— all are now at risk of deportation back to a county deemed “too dangerous to visit” by the U.S. government. The ending of this program is cruel and baseless; TPS protection must be reinstated.

If Trump and the DOJ will prosecute me for standing up to them, they'll do it to anyone. This isn’t just about me, this is about whether dissent is legal in this country. We must hold them accountable– this isn’t normal. openfile.news/p/they-are-s...
