📈 57,000+ ppl are in detention as of Aug 2025, a record high. Most are in for-profit centers.

GEO Group has spent $700K this year alone — nearly $20M since 2020 — lobbying to expand detention.

The stories of 287G agreements play out the SAME across every county in which they are enforced — the damage done can be seen nationwide from Maricopa county, Arizona, to Harris County, Texas.

We must say NO to HB5580.

FCI Dublin closed last year due to POWERFUL survivor-led organizing following years of horrific staff sexual abuse, retaliation + medical neglect.

Survivors uncovered inhumane physical conditions at the facility, including mold, asbestos + crumbling infrastructure 🚨

500+ people (including survivors of BOTH FCI Dublin + ICE detention) protested near the site this weekend, demanding PERMANENT closure of FCI Dublin and no new ICE facilities anywhere in California 🛑

ICE has signaled serious interest in reopening FCI Dublin—a site of abuse and neglect—to detain immigrants, and has reportedly toured the prison TWICE in recent weeks.

How did community respond?

Our #KYR Red Cards were featured in a local broadcast regarding the University of Arizona’s efforts to protect their students.

We all have constitutional rights — period. Even in uncertain times, these efforts prove that community is watching, and community cares.
