ICE flights. Saturday, July 4, 2026. At least 85 flights on 28 planes. At least 12 removal flights, 6 to Mexico alone. One year ago today, ICE sent 8 men to South Sudan. Only 3 have been released. Still jailed: Enrique Arias-Hierro, Kyaw Mya, Nyo Myint, Thongxay Nilakout & José Rodriguez-Quiñones.

NEW: Geraldo Lunas Campos repeatedly raised concerns about his mental health before he died at Camp East Montana. Records paint a portrait of how the Texas facility's staff failed to adequately respond. with @texastribune.org

10,000 people kidnapped in five days. My God. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/01/u...

"[...] he discovered the decomposing body of an inmate who had been dead for three days, despite guards having counted the prisoner as alive through as many as 18 separate inmate counts." Shocking, not surprising from CoreCivic. Paywall-free: archive.ph/YxnR4 www.tennessean.com/story/news/c...

"UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Türk on Friday urged prompt action to prevent further loss of life in U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) custody and called for independent investigations into all deaths under ICE custody."

Transparency matters.

ICE agents just detained someone at immigration court at 26 Federal Plaza, even though a judge barred them from doing that, court watchers just told me. This is the third time I've heard agents ignore the judge's order and snatch someone attending their scheduled hearing.

I've said this before and I'll say it again: the energized, organized campaign to get Citizens Bank to STOP financing ICE abusers GEO Group and Core Civic is a FIGHT WE ARE GOING TO WIN. montclairlocal.news/2026/06/mont...

@mayorofchicago.bsky.social’s office has asked me to delete this thread because I misstated that the city wants to sell the meter company. In fact, he secretly torpedoed a winning bid to buy the meters back and won’t say why. blockclubchicago.org/2026/06/24/w...

Join us on Monday, 6/29 for a webinar featuring lessons from some of the elected officials and organizers behind the divestment efforts in Jersey City and Montclair. With your help, your local government could be next!

Looks like Citizens Bank may see another $90M in withdrawals over its financing of GEO Group and CoreCivic soon. That's on top of $265M from Jersey City, $23M in pledged withdrawals through the Not With Our Money, Citizens campaign, and much more withdrawn quietly by individuals and organizations.

A coalition of faith-based groups in Greater Cleveland plans to announce more than $1.3 million in pledged bank withdrawals Thursday as part of a campaign urging Citizens Bank to end financial ties with companies that operate immigration detention centers.

Daniel Sanchez Estrada wasn’t accused of attempted murder or material support of terrorism after a protest turned catastrophically wrong outside an ICE detention center in Alvarado, Texas. He was convicted of obstructing the investigation by moving a box full of antifascist zines after the protest.

"Members of Greater Cleveland Congregations are set to gather outside a Citizens Bank branch in University Heights on Thursday to announce more than $1.3 million in pledged withdrawals aimed at pressuring the bank to end financing for ICE detention operators CoreCivic and GEO Group."

Begging the Marin Board of Supervisors to pass an ICE-free Marin ordinance. Brought the posters the kids made to bring the point home. #ICEisGestapo #NoICEinMarin

In related news, share prices for CoreCivic and GEO Group are up 43% and 33%, respectively, in the last month.

"We are done pretending that is acceptable." Councilman Joel Brooks didn't mince words after Jersey City voted unanimously to divest $265M from a bank funding state-sponsored cruelty. See how they did it: 👇 🔗 www.dworkinsubstack.com/p/regime-hit...

this is unbelievable.

YES! Jersey City Mayor James Solomon just made history. His city pulled $265 million from Citizens Bank in a direct rebuke of the bank’s financing of Trump’s detention machine. The city council voted unanimously to back the move. @boycottcitizens.org njtoday.news/2026/06/11/j...

We're back at it! On July 18, join groups across the country calling on Citizens Bank to stop financing the for-profit ICE detention companies GEO Group and CoreCivic. Find an action: mobilize.us/deicecitizens Host an action: bit.ly/deicecitizens

The number of people detained by ICE for over a year has soared—surging five-fold from March 2024 to March 2026. How the Trump admin has plunged people into indefinite detention with little recourse or opportunities to petition for freedom. boltsmag.org/louisiana-im...

How we beat back the corporate takeover of America: 1. Break up corporate monopolies 2. Continue building union power 3. End Citizens United and get big money out of politics Let’s keep working to unrig the system.

Can confirm that no agency bothers to respond to public records requests any more. More denials and stonewalling. www.cjr.org/feature/acce...

Indeed — don’t sleep on sheriff races, even if they happen in places that tend to get in less visible places.

Today I officially closed my accounts at Citizens Bank. This is after months of planning and moving money, accounts, etc. Thank you @de-icecitizensbank.org for raising awareness about Citizens’ financing of immigrant detention centers (concentration camps) including Delaney Hall. /1

If you thought ICE couldn't get any worse, then think again! This is what state Republicans have been pushing –> Tennessee will report 400 immigrant children, including cancer patients, to ICE next month under a new state law drafted with the White House. www.yahoo.com/news/politic...

"GEO Group’s PAC had not disclosed this. Only American Liberty Foundation had. Both have legal obligations to disclose. This raises a lot of questions about the broader universe of dark money contributions from Geo Group or other private prison companies.”

More than 50 community organizations today submitted a petition to the Citizens Bank Board of Directors calling on that financial institution to sever financial relationships with CoreCivic and The GEO Group. Our full press statement here: https://ow.ly/Kqew50ZerEQ

"Until the bank ends these relationships, it will see more frequent and larger protests outside bank branches across the country. It will also see more customers, both large and small, closing their accounts and pulling their money, as part of the ‘Not with Our Money, Citizens’ campaign."

Proud to stand with @indivisible.org Western Queens in their fight against ICE — including their work with the De-ICE Citizens Bank coalition, organizing to hold Citizens Bank accountable for financing the private prison companies holding ICE detainees.

My latest published in @truthout.org and the @theappeal.org. Delaney Hall detainees: “We deserve to be free and to complete the process at home with our families. We demand freedom, a fair trial, and for our rights to be respected.”

I'm going to finally shut down my Citizens Bank account this month. No money for concentration camps.

glad the Marshall Project and NPR are picking this up now; here's our analysis of this data from March www.prisonpolicy.org/blog/2026/03...

Is GEO going to lobby Congress to repeal the Trafficking Victims Protection Act next? And do we really even need the 13th Amendment?

Think of the level of cooperation from airlines and airports and their employees that is needed to keep ICE operating.

Join us this Wednesday, June 17 12:15-1 p.m. EDT for Getting Your Group to Go: A "how-to guide" for moving your organization's banking relationship away from Citizens Bank!

Jersey City voted to move $265 million out of Citizens Bank over its financing of ICE detention operators GEO Group and CoreCivic. Join us to learn why, and how you can too, in this one-hour webinar for municipal, county and state elected officials and community activists. bit.ly/deicewebinar

A SECOND person died of exposure last winter after DHS dumped them in the middle of nowhere, miles from their home, without notifying their family.

We are researching a potential ICE jail in Hammond, LA (thanks to a reader tip). Hammond was on the list of sites posted by WaPo in December '25, but fell off the radar during the warehouse buying spree. Newly surfaced construction records show one is in the early planning stages. More soon.

1. Progressive Champions PAC, a super PAC created last month, says on its website that its mission is to “elect bold, progressive candidates up and down the ballot.” A Popular Information investigaiton reveals that it's a GOP front group. Following along for receipts. 🧵

In a nonprofit board meeting today, the discussion touched on whether we should solicit sponsorship or grants from (private prisons funder) Citizens Bank. We decided not to besmirch our cause with their money. Then everyone gossiped about who they knew who was yanking accounts from there now

Yes, please. Let's go.

ICE should not be at the World Cup (nor anywhere else). Art shared with us by design student Brooklyn Chavers. For more on the World Cup, we recommend “Red Card: The 2026 World Cup, Sportswashing, and the FIFA Greed Machine” by Jules Boykoff, with intro by Dave Zirin bookshop.org/a/7256/97816...

Police officers across the country are abusing their unfettered access to Flock's nationwide network of automatic license plate readers to stalk their exes. This is a dangerous violation of our privacy. Our communities must continue to fight back against this invasive surveillance tech.

“That is not immigration enforcement. It is a for-profit machine built on human suffering," Councilmember Jake Ephros said, "and Citizens Bank has been writing the checks.” 🔥
