ICE is denying people their due process rights and endangering their lives in the process. “People were not supposed to spend more than 12 hours in there,” said a former ICE official who worked on oversight and detention issues. “I actually think it’s wildly, wildly fucked up.”

Congratulations to the @macarthurjustice.bsky.social and ACLU of Illinois team on this important win!!!!

A federal jury this week found a private company that runs detention centers liable for the 2015 death of an inmate in Louisiana and awarded the man’s family $42.75 million in damages.

The Department of Homeland Security is funneling $10 billion through the Navy to help facilitate the construction of a sprawling network of migrant detention centers across the US in an arrangement aimed at getting the centers built faster. https://cnn.it/4oDFP9W

Pregnant women detained by ICE report horrifying treatment: shackling, solitary confinement, no prenatal vitamins, inadequate food. ICE's own directives and regulations require the agency to avoid detention of pregnant people in the first place. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

More people have died this year in immigration detention than any other year in decades. The best way to prevent abuse and deaths in ICE custody is for Congress to stop funding the ICE detention machine.

A WILD ONE: A man broke his leg during an arrest by ICE at a car wash south of L.A. ICE has held him under 24/7 guard at a hospital, registering him under a pseudonym, for *37 days* without telling him why. A judge has ordered his immediate release. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Just filed!!

Sens. Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock are asking Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem for answers after more than a dozen people died in immigration detention, as the department rushes to expand.

NEW: Air Force jets are doing ICE flights to Africa with transponders turned off, making them nearly un-trackable. This includes the third-country removal to Ghana and another secret flight. We figured out where it landed. From me for @rollingstone.com: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

We won!!

NEW: Recently we reported on L.A. honor student and track star Nory Sontay Ramos and her mom Estela, deported after a routine immigration check-in. Weeks after we met them in Guatemala, where they were in hiding, Estela died suddenly. www.msnbc.com/msnbc/news/d...

SCOTUS: considering race as one factor in a college applicant's file is blatantly unconstitutional ALSO SCOTUS: considering race as one factor in targeting whom to detain and deport is cool cool cool

To expand immigrant detention the Trump administration plans to reopen at least three facilities that were shut down over concerns about violence, medical abuse, and systemic understaffing. A federal judge characterized one facility as "an absolute hell hole."

Trump: “Invest in 🇺🇸!” Also Trump:

ICE wants more detention space and it’s faster to re-open old facilities to hold immigrants than to build new ones. Enter: ZOMBIE PRISONS www.themarshallproject.org/2025/08/29/m...

The ACLU's @eunicehcho.bsky.social said said private companies & local economies have financial incentives to keep filling cells they already spent money creating. We see that in how empty prisons are being reused by ICE: “How can we imagine ways to actually shutter these facilities for good?”

Don’t look away

🚨 ACTIVE CHECKPOINT ALERT 🚨 Reports have been made of an active checkpoint at 3300 block Sherman Ave NW in Columbia Heights, Ward 1 as of today August 24 at 8:55pm. Avoid the area if possible!! 1/

The @aclu.org's @eunicehcho.bsky.social on state's partnering with ICE to build giant detention centers using 287(g) agreements: “It’s absolutely unprecedented” www.themarshallproject.org/2025/08/22/f...

ICE received ten times more in Congressional funding under Trump than it did last year. The agency plans to use the money to expand the size of immigrant detention to eclipse the current federal prison system, says @aclu.org lawyer @eunicehcho.bsky.social.

By January, ICE will have the capacity to hold more than 107,000 people, internal agency documents show. The documents outline the strategy behind ICE’s breakneck expansion.

🚨 ALERT🚨 DC Police (MPD) has announced that they will start collaborating with ICE at traffic checkpoints. What does this mean 👉🏽

TRO victory!!

BREAKING: We filed a class action lawsuit against ICE for denying people access to lawyers and subjecting them to inhumane conditions at 26 Federal Plaza in New York. ICE is illegally holding people here for weeks, often without adequate access to medical care, food, or legal counsel.

Federal immigration authorities detained a woman seeking medical care at the National Institutes of Health’s flagship research hospital after the patient presented a non-real ID while passing security.

After 6 months of Trump, we took a step back to ask: How was he able to ramp up detention so rapidly? The big takeaway: The US history of mass incarceration meant a giant infrastructure was already in place and ready to be deployed to cage people. www.themarshallproject.org/2025/08/01/t...

The government doesn't get to lock people up without a chance to challenge their detention — so we're taking the Trump administration to court.

The Trump admin has formally unveiled a program to illegally use money Congress passed for sheltering migrants released from immigration custody to instead detain them in state-run prison camps. They are calling this — no joke — "shelter in a detention environment." www.reuters.com/legal/govern...

I don't have the spoons for this anymore but I really think that a blue state moratorium on any immigrant jails is the campaign to run at this time. Organize state and county legislatures and electeds to reject any new detention centers.

NEW: Nathan Albers once co-owned a company that schemed to hire and conceal undocumented workers. Now his company could make hundreds of millions from work on the nation's largest detention camp. “The irony is thick,” said a former DHS official.

The military is actively planning to detain immigrants for ICE on local military bases in New Jersey and Indiana. This is an unprecedented use of military resources and further endangers immigrants in our communities. www.npr.org/2025/07/21/n...

“I’m plainly convinced that my situation in this ICE jail is direct retaliation for my coverage,” Mario Guevara told @ajc.com in an exclusive interview from the Folkston, Georgia ICE detention center where he is currently detained, despite a judge's bail order. “I haven’t committed any crimes.”
