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.

“There should be no doubt that this heartbreaking loss is the direct result of inhumane conditions perpetrated by GEO Group and the Trump admin. Delaney Hall must be shut down, and justice must be served on behalf of Edwin and every person whose life has been upended by the daily cruelty”

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.
Deportations spiking due to fast-tracked immigration court hearings, data show. Immigration judges nationwide issued more than 50,000 deportation orders for people who did not show up to court last month www.kpbs.org/news/border-...
Deportations spiking due to fast-tracked immigration court hearings, data show
The new Trump administration tactic, which is to drastically reduce notice given to people with hearing dates, is leading to a lot more deportations because people aren't showing up for court.

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.

🔥DR. @abdulelsayed.bsky.social : “ICE has nothing to do with immigration. ICE is about normalizing paramilitary force on our streets, weaponizing the idea of immigration against the Constitution. ICE cannot be reformed, retrained… ICE has to be ABOLISHED.” (And held accountable)
The SAVE America Act mandates that all voters must bring to the polls specifically a photo ID which has proof of citizenship “on the front of the document.” So REAL IDs don’t count. If the ID does not precisely conform to that standard, you must also bring separate proof of citizenship.
Scalise: "Anybody that gets on an airplane has to show a picture ID to vote. Nowadays, if you want to go to Olive Garden and get unlimited pasta, you gotta show a picture ID. This isn't complicated stuff."
