🚨 Many detained at Moshannon have no criminal record.
Refusing to allow due process is not ok.

🚨The largest immigration detention center in northeast USA, Moshannon Valley Processing Center, is right here in Pennsylvania.
ICE pays ~$3.5M/month to GEO Group to operate the center which is nearly at capacity where advocates say civil rights are being violated.
