Just one month after Camp East Montana opened, inspectors found 60 violations of detention standards. So watch the admin spin this as somehow an improvement. It's a nightmare. Camp East Montana is a disaster. And the "mega" warehouses would be 3x larger.

Every dataset carries the imprint of how it was collected: incentives, geography, language, and risk. Understanding that is the first step toward truth. hrdag.org/2026/04/02/w...

"They claim the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, which oversees Medicaid, has admitted to sharing with ICE 'a large and complex' set of data on Medicaid recipients, even though the court said the data of citizens and lawful permanent residents is off limits."

To celebrate William Walters receiving some well-deserved scrutiny for his role in Lewandowski's alleged pay-to-play scheme and the nearly $1B no-bid contract awarded to Salus Worldwide, enjoy this look at the $15M estate purchased late Nov. '24 by an LLC registered to his wife.

Congress is ramping up its investigations of Salus Worldwide Solutions & its connection to Corey Lewandowski's alleged pay-to-play scheme. New oversight letter today from @robertgarcia.house.gov citing two stories @dfriedman.bsky.social & I wrote oversightdemocrats.house.gov/imo/media/do...

Trump’s Deportation Machine is Getting a Reality Check The Supreme Court looks ready to reject Trump’s birthright citizenship order, DHS has paused its warehouse detention expansion, and even red-state sheriffs are saying no. austinkocher.substack.com/p/trumps-dep...

@msrachelforlittles.bsky.social is leading a campaign to close Dilley Detention Center in Texas. Dilley is run by CoreCivic, the same company that just opened a detention facility in Leavenworth, KS. Sign the petition below.

Two-year-old Kaleth and his mom are home. During his time at the Dilley trailer prison, Kaleth was sick—he could not eat the food from CoreCivic, was vomiting, and ran a fever while detained.

Children don't belong in prisons. Together we can get them out, shut down the Dilley Immigration Processing Center, and end the detention of children for good. 🧵

"For some immigrant families in Texas, a blown tire, a traffic stop, or even a trip to the beach can end in ICE detention." It's impossible to overstate how bad this is for *actual* public safety.

Thomson Reuters, known for the Reuters news agency but is a data broker, powers ICE tools. Includes a system Palantir made for ICE, according to former Palantir employee. DHS sources also believe Thomson Reuters data in ELITE, the ICE tool for targeting neighborhoods www.404media.co/how-thomson-...

it’s hard to imagine having but not using personal celebrity to free kids from prison. i don’t know what other famous people are doing.

NEW! We released updated individual-level ICE data, including every ICE encounter, detainer request, arrest, book-in to detention, and removal between 10/1/2022 and 3/10/2026. This adds ~5 months of data to the previous release, which ran through 10/15/2025, and 11 months of data from FY2023.

“When his mother asked for help, the staff said it was all ‘mental’,” Castro wrote in a post on X. CoreCivic cannot be trusted to care for anyone or anything but their own bottom line.

José Guadalupe Ramos died last week in ICE custody. He was the fourth person to die within a six-month period at GEO Group's Adelanto Detention Facility.

The government is circumventing the Constitution and trampling your rights by purchasing your personal info from third party companies, rather than seeking a warrant. It's time for Congress to stop this mass surveillance. Email your representatives now: https://bit.ly/41ribno

BREAKING: After ProPublica published letters written by children at the Dilley concentration camp, ICE officers raided the dormitories and confiscated the children's letters. I'm suing ICE to get them back. I'll explain it all in 45 minutes on @meidastouch.com here: www.youtube.com/live/H-D8SzR...

"It's unclear who stole her credit card information. She believes it may have been someone working for CoreCivic since the card was in her belongings." Yeah, that tracks.

Over 250 AFT MA and fellow union members showed up today as part of No Kings III to 🧊🙅🏻‍♀️ DE-ICE CITIZENS BANK!! 🙅🏻‍♀️🧊 @aft.org @btu66.bsky.social

today I learned that Citizens Bank is the major financier of private prisons and ICE detention centers across the country, via the medium of extremely normie libs singing a Twisted Sister cover www.de-icecitizensbank.org

So proud to announce that detainees held at Alligator Alcatraz won their preliminary injunction and motion for class certification in challenging lack of access to counsel. www.courtlistener.com/docket/71155... /1

Just checked and ICE managed to update its detention management webpage with new text or something but the excel document that contains new detention statistics remains unchanged. www.ice.gov/detain/deten...

Earlier this week, Judge David Hurd ruled in favor of TRAC on a 2023 FOIA lawsuit, ordering ICE and CBP to produce large quantities of case-by-case immigration enforcement data. Transparency matters. And I love a judge who has had it with DHS's nonsense. tracreports.org/reports/770/...

Hey, Boston! Join @aftmass.bsky.social and the De-ICE Citizens Bank Coalition at Citizens Bank at 40 Summer St. at 12:30 on 3/28 to tell Citizens to STOP financing ICE prisons. Afterward, we'll march together to the main No Kings gathering. #nokings #deicecitizensbank #iceout

#Boycott. Demonstrate our economic power. @in-slwm.bsky.social @boycottcitizens.org #StopICE

Bauder said the city can pull the permit if CoreCivic blocks access to the city or fails to meet requirements, including providing detainees access to attorneys, family contact and religious practice. #leavenworth #kansas #ICE www.axios.com/local/kansas...

"A major labor union, the AFT, is calling for its 1.8 million members to shop at local stores rather than Target, saying the retailer did not respond adequately to the surge of federal immigration enforcement in Minneapolis." Bravo, @aft.org 👏👏👏

In February, internal documents revealed ICE's plans to buy its ten of its detention centers from the private prison firms that own and operate them. This proposal has largely flown under the radar. But I found it could have serious consequences. www.levernews.com/how-ice-coul...

Happy Opening Day, y'all ⚾ Like immigration and due process, baseball is a great American tradition. Phillies fans can celebrate their love of all three this year by not sharing free ads for detention companies' favorite bank in their photos...'cause phuck ICE

"With nearly 100% of medical grievances rejected or denied, it’s hard not to see the federal grievance system as a process designed to block or discourage complaints and lawsuits rather than a meaningful path for relief, protection, or accountability."

scoop: The Trump administration gave ICE $465 million to buy ten planes for its deportation flights, including two gulfstream G650s more commonly used as private jets

The San Diego Co. Sheriff cut a deal with CoreCivic giving the company the authority to decide whether to investigate rape allegations at its Otay Mesa ICE facility. “When a matter requires law enforcement intervention, we refer it to the appropriate authorities,” a CoreCivic spokesperson said.

NEW: Eighth Circuit, on a 2-1 vote, sides with Trump admin's mandatory immigration detention policy. The dissent, from a Trump appointee, highlighted the extreme nature of the Trump admin's policy, which has been rejected by district court judges across the country. This evening, at Law Dork:

NEW: New Jersey Governor Mikie Sherrill today signed three new bills strengthening protections against iCE . One codifies into law a prohibition on any sheriffs or local police having a 287(g) agreement with ICE: NJ is the 10th state with such a ban, after NM & MN last month.

Noem is out, but the human rights abuses in ICE detention continue.

A letter by 17 state attorneys general urging Congress to close the data broker loophole enabling warrantless federal mass surveillance, citing an investigation into Google adtech last year by me & @dmehro.bsky.social (among other reporting): oag.ca.gov/system/files...

Should be interesting! Starting now.

if you are working on a campaign to target an ICE contractor or are interested in starting one join us tomorrow for our Researching ICE contracts training. littlesis.org/training/res...

At least a couple mothers held at Dilley feel that the teachers there use instructional time to pry info out of kids that the government can then use against them in court. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

While they're embracing change, the Phillies might consider that Citizens Bank is still financing for-profit prison and ICE detention companies—years after most major banks cut ties. Only a couple years left on that 25-year naming rights agreement...

ICE arrests have increased, but arrests of immigrants with criminal convictions — especially violent offenses — have not. Brennan Center Senior Fellow @margyoh.bsky.social explains what you need to know:

If the federal government can send ICE agents to assist with airport security, it suggests ICE has more than enough money right now. Congress must keep asking questions about how DHS is spending your tax dollars.

The inevitable result of this would be the creation of a permanent underclass of exploitable people, who grew up in this country, know no other, and have no education so are more vulnerable than ever before; a serf class for the rich and powerful.

This is disgusting. They were already searched when they were captured and before they got on this Eastern ICE flight. There is NO legitimate reason to force them to stand in the rain and be groped by some GEO Group thug.

I kinda don’t care what Delta does until they stop participating in ICE flights.

"Under a 2020 memorandum of understanding between the sheriff’s department and CoreCivic, detention center Warden Christopher LaRose has authority to decide whether to investigate rape allegations at the facility."

NEW: For the first time, ProPublica has been able to quantify how many U.S. citizen children have been directly affected by Trump’s immigration crackdown: more than 11,000 kids had a parent detained — and that’s an undercount. 1/ 🧵 www.propublica.org/article/trum...

Asked to stop funding ICE atrocities, Citizens Bank calls the police "Citizens has a stated commitment to ‘Fostering Strong Communities’ ... but Citizens is now betraying those values." steveahlquist.substack.com/p/asked-to-s...

Chicago's prosecutor has not been investigating an ICE agent's shooting and killing a man last year, Blockclub reports: blockclubchicago.org/2026/03/23/i...

Rodney Taylor has been held in a CoreCivic ICE facility since January 2025. “There are times he cannot take a shower," his wife has said. "He can’t do it with the general population; he has to remove his prosthetics and then he crawls across floors covered with mold and feces to shower."
