Say NO to ICE Detention Camps in Kansas. Say NO to for-profit prison companies like CoreCivic who have a history of inmate abuse and are just generally terrible places to work. Thank you Mayor Holly Shehorn Pittman for standing up to CoreCivic, who continue to show no regard for the legal process.
Seemingly undeterred by legal setbacks, private prison company CoreCivic is on a hiring spree to staff a Leavenworth detention center and showing every sign that it intends to fulfill its contract with ICE.

Wouldn't it be nice if the media acknowledged this?
Of course, they won't, because their owners are in on it all, a billionaire oligarchy take-over of this nation. But we the people can keep beating this drum until the message gets out. It's not up to elected politicians. It's up to ALL of us.

Come you agents of ICE
Who seize and deport
Do you do it for power?
Do you do it for sport?
Invading our churches
Our clinics and schools
When dirty work needs doin'
They call in the tools.
Enforcing the rules
That are written by fools.
