The juvenile justice system is being used as a catch-all for social issues it isn't equipped to solve. When a girl runs away, it’s often a cry for help or an escape from a dangerous home environment—not a criminal act.

[Prison Policy Initiative @PrisonPolicy]

Hundreds of girls in the US are confined by the juvenile justice system for “status offenses,” like running away or truancy.

Confinement for these offenses is particularly troubling because those behaviors tend to be responses to abuse.

More care, less confinement.

[Prison Policy Initiative @PrisonPolicy]

Older people now make up 5x as much of the prison population as they did 3 decades ago.

Turning prisons into “makeshift nursing homes” is one of the nation’s most wasteful, morally bankrupt experiments to date.

"U.S. prison labor programs violate fundamental human rights." The evidence is overwhelming — coercion, exploitation, and billions in stolen labor. This system survives by hiding the truth. He’s exposing it.

ICE openly defied a judge and destroyed a family’s #Thanksgiving . Lucia Lopez Belloza, a Babson College freshman brought here at age 8, was deported anyway—despite a court order stopping it. No agency should be allowed to operate with this level of cruelty and impunity. #ICE

[LongTime🤓FirstTime👨‍💻 @LongTimeHistory]

ICE detains teenage student at Boston Airport—flying home to surprise family for Thanksgiving.

Despite judge's order expressly blocking deportation—agents took her to Honduras just hours later.

"It's Thanksgiving, we're supposed to be with our families. And yet she's taken away from her family," said her lawyer.

Lucia Lopez Belloza was brought by her family to the U.S. at age 8—and was unaware of any outstanding removal order against her.

She was a first-semester business major at Babson College in Wellesley, Massachusetts. #DemsUnited

"When worker rights erode (see ITUC 2025), exploitative models like prison labor expand. Don’t punch down…audit brands, demand disclosure, divest from harm>10 and divest from the silence of America’s ITUC GLOBAL INDEX SCORE of 4…"

An alarming share of ICE arrests rely on collaborations with local law enforcement – even in places that are "sanctuary cities"

From January to June , 45% of all ICE arrests were transfers from local jails:

"He was beaten to death for refusing to work." That line hit hard. Martin Tabert's death exposed the brutality of Florida's convict leasing system, but the exploitation never truly ended. This history is the blueprint for today’s prison labor. #ForcedLabor

Shoutout to @traceyh415 for speaking out again in her latest video series on the ITUC report! She exposes the brutal conditions of prison labor and shares her friend's experience in a Texas prison. #PrisonLabor #EndPrisonSlavery #ITUCReport https://t.co/7lhpJ8CyIv

It’s sickening to see how these agencies continue to target activists and silence those who expose the truth. We need accountability for these kinds of abuses, and to stand in solidarity with those speaking out against these harmful practices. #JusticeForLeoMartinez #ICE

[LongTime🤓FirstTime👨‍💻 @LongTimeHistory]

ICE repeatedly rammed into & disabled a truck driven by a community volunteer—then arrest the U.S. citizen victim.

He was first rushed to hospital—and then locked up in downtown LA detention center.

Leo Martinez was targeted by agents as a well-known volunteer with VC Defensa —an organization that legally films immigration enforcement efforts.

An ICE statement claims that Leo Martinez caused the accident—but the only video currently made public clearly shows the ICE agents crashing into his car first.

The incident occurred on South A Street in Oxnard, California. #DemsUnited
