The Immigrant Prison Boom: Billions for Detention, Nothing for Justice
With $45 billion in funding, ICE is building a detention system that will rival the entire federal criminal prison system by 2029. Detention has increased 75% to 66,000 people, with plans for 135,000 capacity. The goal: pressure people into giving up their rights.
