Whether it’s $66 000 per deportation or $500 000 per detainee, the math stays absurd. @detentionwatchnetwork.org made us double-check our research — and it’s worse than we thought. Fiscal sense and moral sense point the same way. #DignityForAll #FollowTheMoney #CommunitiesNotCages

DWN made us double-check. $30 B ÷ 60 k people = ≈ $500 000 each per year. If those numbers are right, it’s >80× the cost of humane alternatives. The math isn’t hard — just indefensible. #FollowTheMoney #CommunitiesNotCages
ICE purposefully obscures the truth — full stop. For the nearly 60,000 people in ICE custody, every measure of oversight is crucial because lives are in jeopardy. This decision once again illustrates how no one is safe in ICE custody. #communitiesnotcages

Outrage and heartbreak can lead to change. The Michigan Dignity Act shows how states can turn grief into policy — ending for-profit detention and expanding humane, community-based programs. $66 k vs $6 k per person. #DignityForAll #CommunitiesNotCages #FollowTheMoney
We’re enraged and heartbroken by the rising deaths in ICE custody. Huabing Xie, from China, died Sept 29 after being held at Imperial Regional Detention Facility. At least 20 people have died since Trump took office as he moves to triple ICE detention by the end of this year. #CommunitiesNotCages

Thank you to the frontline protesters at the LA Detention Center. You’re holding the line for families and freedom in the face of intimidation and force. We see you. We’ve got you.

Already the U.S. has the largest immigrant detention system in the world. Now we learn of plans to double capacity by year's end, to hold over 107,000 people (more than the population of Boulder, CO!) ⭐ wapo.st/41IYtUH #immigration #defundice #communitiesnotcages

REVOLVING DOOR: David Venturella is another shameful example of the revolving door that exists between the federal agencies issuing lucrative immigration detention and prison contracts and the private prison corporations like GEO Group receiving them. #CommunitiesNotCages
The former private prison exec behind ICE’s immigrant detention surge
David Venturella, a veteran of private prison firm Geo Group, joined the Trump administration to help oversee an expansion of the immigrant detention system that’s benefiting his former employer.
