Jack,
Even before President Trump returned to office, 9 in 10 people in ICE
detention were being held in private, for-profit facilities.
Are you okay with an immigration system that turns a profit from tearing apart
families and communities? Add your name if you agree: immigration detention is
cruel and unnecessary.

Since January, the number of people held in immigration detention has
increased byat least 20 percent. In response, private for-profit prisons are
ramping up capacity.
That’s because the federal funding bill passed this July provides roughly $150
billion to fuel Trump’s mass detention and deportation agenda. The majority of
ICE detention funding will go to private companies.
Take action: our legal system is low on justice because it values profit,
punishment, and politics over people. It needs to change NOW.

TAKE ACTION

The federal government’s own data shows that detention is not necessary to
ensure that people appear in court for their immigration hearings. This massive
expansion of immigration detention is cruel and entirely unnecessary.
At Vera, we have made it our goal to uncover the realities of the criminal
justice and immigration systems and, in turn, expose the dirty business of mass
incarceration. Join us today.
