They did this on camera, in broad daylight, to elected officials. What does this say about ICE’s treatment of people inside Delaney?

[Movimiento Cosecha @CosechaMovement]

🚨*ALERTA*🚨

DHS/ICE/HSI arrested Newark Mayor Ras Baraka outside of Delaney Hall while he tried to enter the facility. Both @RepBonnie and @RepLaMonica were assaulted by the officers. Activists, press, and community members were shoved to the ground violently.

Shut down all detention centers, free them all!

BREAKING: Protestors are occupying Kamala Harris' campaign office in Philadelphia ahead of the presidential debate demanding she stop the deportation of Sereyrath ‘One’ Van to Cambodia, a country he has never visited.

One emigrated to Philly in 1894 as his family fled genocide.

[Movimiento Cosecha @CosechaMovement]

🚙💨 Help Cosecha NJ get to ATL! As CoreCivic fights to keep Elizabeth Detention Center open, and GeoGroup tries to reopen Delaney Hall in Newark, it is vital that we connect with other organizers working to shut down ICE detention centers!

[Brenda Valladares @bvalladaresb]

It's not just that POTUS used the racist word "illegal", is that he then endorsed the right wing anti-immigrant agenda of a fundamentalist party while finding a migrant guilty of a crime without his day in court & also assuring these racists he will deport people faster.

[Jewish Voice for Peace @jvplive]

BREAKING: Thousands of Jews and allies are taking over the AIPAC HQ in NYC during the workday. With over 30,000 Palestinians killed by Israeli forces in Gaza, we demand our electeds stop answering to a far-Right group and start listening to their constituents. #DumpAIPAC now!

1. Fuck @CoreCivic
2. Fuck student loan servicers
3. Thank God for Dem AG’s!

Learn more about the fight to shut down the last privately run ICE detention center in New Jersey—and Biden’s attempts to force the state to keep it open, in violation of NJ law: https://t.co/n1zRVehuPU

[Movimiento Cosecha @CosechaMovement]

In 2021, @JoeBiden committed to ending the use of private prisons. “I’m working on it man,” he said. “Give me another five days.”

Biden said that there should be “no private prisons, period.”

Call the White House at 202-456-1111 and tell them to #shutdownEDC

[Movimiento Cosecha @CosechaMovement]

Regardless of litigation, President Biden has the power to permanently shut down ICE detention centers. Tell Biden to shut down EDC & deliver on his campaign promise to end the use of private ICE detention centers!

CoreCivic is currently working with ICE to renew their contract for EDC. Join the campaign to #shutdownEDC at https://t.co/5i7IItgD2u

The AGs note that, if CoreCivic is successful, it will provide a template for any private company that contracts with the federal government to ignore state law. The circuit court should avoid this outcome and overturn Kirsch’s ruling, allowing NJ to #shutdownEDC

[Movimiento Cosecha @CosechaMovement]

Should student loan servicers be allowed to engage in “predatory and deceptive practices” if they contract with the federal government? (Some financial institutions have already been making this argument.)

[Movimiento Cosecha @CosechaMovement]

Should a military contractor be allowed to ignore your state’s environmental regulations if they can save the federal government money in the process? If Kirsch’s ruling is upheld, that is the precedent that could be set.

[Movimiento Cosecha @CosechaMovement]

The Biden administration and CoreCivic argued that the federal government has an interest in forcing NJ to allow EDC to remain open.

[Movimiento Cosecha @CosechaMovement]

Yet when @NJGov passed a bill to ban private immigration detention contracts, @JoeBiden joined @CoreCivic’s lawsuit in an attempt to force NJ to keep these privately run immigration detention facilities open.

If, contrary to current legal precedent, states were unable to impose any regulations on private contractors that might indirectly inconvenience the federal government, the results would be catastrophic.

[Movimiento Cosecha @CosechaMovement]

Judge Kirsch argued that banning private companies from detaining immigrants in NJ would make it difficult for ICE’s deportation regime to operate.

But states are allowed to regulate private companies, even if the federal government is indirectly inconvenienced as a result.
