"The reality became clear: ICE detention isn’t just a bureaucratic nightmare. It’s a bus. These facilities are privately owned & run for profit."
-J Cohn
"I was in an #immigration office talking to an officer about my work visa *approved, that allowed me, a Canadian, to work in the US. I was told to put my hands against the wall, & patted down like a criminal before being sent to an ICE detention center w/o the chance to talk to a lawyer."

@KimPerales “Companies like CoreCivic and GEO Group receive government funding based on the number of people they detain, which is why they lobby for stricter immigration policies. **It’s a lucrative business: CoreCivic made over $560m from Ice contracts in a single year. In 2024, GEO Group made more than $763m from Ice contracts.**
The more detainees, the more money they make. It stands to reason that these companies have no incentive to release people quickly.”
It’s no different, is it, than the $$ the US is paying El Salvador to keep the “gang members” who were deported recently.
@KimPerales These horrendous stories are becoming routine in the US. 
And we have one psychotic Chaos, Mental Man Child and his Cult to blame for it.
And despite the reality, The Cult at least where I Iive (Texas) thinks he’s doing us a great service by trashing DC. This is why hardcore pain is the only chance to snap them out of it, or we are overdue for an economic, environmental, social breakdown they deserve, but we don’t, yet we’ll experience it just the same.
