No one should be profiteering off of our criminal justice system. That’s why today, I ordered the Department of Justice to end the use of private prisons by the federal government.
The lack of public info about COVID-19 cases and protocols in immigration detention is dangerous. @JoaquinCastrotx, @SenBooker & I have a new bill to require data reporting, which will provide desperately needed transparency at these detention facilities. https://t.co/VcvlFdAt3g
@mollyhf I can't help but feel like you giving me a chance to share my story played a role in this. My wife helped me use my time in the spotlight to discuss how @SouthwestKey is just like @CoreCivic & @GEOGroup... same business model. Thank you again for getting my story out 🙏🏽
Of course they want a meeting after. They have covered up w/e they were hiding before. @SouthwestKey's modus operandi: drag ur feet, destroy evidence, declare your innocence after months of silence. A company that detains kids for profit will never play fair. #antarwasright
@CMPaul_Durham please consider that @SouthwestKey ceo Juan Sanchez stole a salary of 1.5 million in tax money and workers there are hired on a temporary status w/ no benefits. Dont fall 4 organized visits. We should not allow them 2 profit from youth detention in our city. #SHAME
Earlier this month, @KatieFalkenberg and I joined a team of people in #Guatemala searching for parents who were deported without their children. It's a Herculean mission. Here is what we found. #immigration
