Over 500 children remain captives of the state well beyond the re-unification deadline.
Thousands of sexual assaults by ICE and immigration detention guards have been reported. (these are only the ones *reported”- the numbers are expected to be much higher)
Immigrant detainees have reported rampant abuses in immigration detention dungeons.
Roundups and raids, stalking our public transportation, killings at the border and even the detaining of an Undocumented woman who reported the sexual abuse of a 6 year old child are among the atrocities these institutions find profit margins within before going home to their families, while denying that right to thousands of others.
Meanwhile, corporations like GeoGroup, CoreCivic and Microsoft, various politicians and other private contractors continue to turn a profit off of the caging of children, the detaining of Immigrants and the mass imprisonment of Black people. The days of pedaling misery for profit are over.
With these companies and institutions in community cross hairs, we vow to keep the pressure on to let them know that the suffering and misery will stop, their profits will disappear and we will out them as complicit, blood for money prison profiteers.
Call in and Call out those profiting from these crimes against humanity.
*This is a large list, an indication of how deeply rooted and funded the criminal, racist, rogue ICE institution is.
Geo Group:
(561) 893-0101
$183,909,729 in 2017 profits
GEO Group is ICE’s largest contractor. As Trump pours billions into ICE and border patrol, he opens revenue streams for his friends at GEO, and simultaneously defunds our communities. Safety is not created by cages, but when our neighborhoods have adequate housing, education and healthcare. We demand those billions be reinvested into our communities so we can address the root causes of the poverty and violence keeping us from flourishing freely.
