Not long after President Biden was sworn into office, he signed an
important executive order ending the Department of Justice’s use of
for-profit prisons. Unfortunately, this executive order did not apply to
immigration detention facilities.

Investigation after investigation and news report after news report has
shown the cruel treatment of immigrants in detention centers puts their
wellbeing and lives at risk. And yet, Customs Enforcement (ICE) continues
to expand its detention system at taxpayers’ expense, including its use of
these dangerous facilities.

That’s why Pramila co-led more than 100 of her colleagues in a letter
calling on the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and ICE to stop its
use of for-profit prisons, review its facilities, and suspend its
detention expansion.

The immigration detention system is one that has consistently bucked
accountability and transparency — that must end.

Multiple studies have uncovered horrifying conditions detained people have
had to endure, like when a detention center in Georgia came under fire for
their reported unnecessary and non-consensual medical procedures performed
on women.

Pramila co-led a letter to DHS calling on them to immediately investigate
and respond to these accounts, and successfully passed a resolution
condemning the unwanted, unnecessary medical procedures performed on women
without their full, informed consent.

But now it’s critical we ensure that all detained people no longer endure
cruel and inhumane treatment in for-profit detention centers. [ [link removed] ]If you
