#PrivatePrison Companies Set to Make Billions Reopening #Jails for #ICE
“There’s a private interest behind the #detention and the incarceration of our community,” said an #activist #protesting the facilities.
by Sophie Hurwitz, March 6, 2025
Excerpt: "Late Wednesday afternoon, private prison company CoreCivic announced it would be reopening a notorious family detention center in South Texas, under an amended contract with US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The facility, first built in 2014, will house up to 2,400 people, including children. It had been shut down last year to save costs, after years of reports suggesting poor treatment, including a report of one toddler who died due to a lack of medical care.
"The reopening is part of a trend. CoreCivic isn’t the only company bringing back facilities. We are at the beginning of what looks like a private prison boom, as the groups profit off President Donald Trump’s plans for mass deportation. They are set to make billions. As the Washington Post reported, the GEO Group and CoreCivic stand to benefit in particular from #Trump’s immigration plans—the companies hold at least 16 vacant facilities that can be reopened within months for mass detention and deportation.
"The GEO Group announced in late February that it would be reopening #DelaneyHall in #NewarkNJ, as a “massive” immigration detention center with 1,000 beds. In California, ICE is considering repurposing and reopening the women’s prison #FCIDublin, closed last year due to mass #SexualAbuse, for #ImmigrantDetention. In Baldwin, Michigan, ICE and the GEO Group have expressed interest in reopening #NorthLake Correctional Facility, a former private prison shuttered in 2022. (A Biden administration order directed the Department of Justice to allow contracts with private prison groups to expire.) In #LeavenworthKS, CoreCivic looks likely to partner with ICE to reopen yet another shuttered private prison, documents obtained by the #ACLU revealed.
"As of February 27, ICE held 43,759 detainees, according to the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse, a nonpartisan data-gathering organization. Trump is putting pressure on ICE to increase the number of arrests per day. His administration has already fired one ICE director, ostensibly for not deporting enough people.
"In the communities surrounding these new jails for migrants, activists and politicians are fighting back. In Newark, where the GEO Group stands to make $1.2 billion by reopening Delaney Hall, the immigrant rights organization Make the Road is planning a rally against the jail March 11."

…On Friday morning, officials at the #detention facility told #immigration lawyers with clients at #DelaneyHall that phone calls & visits had been suspended, said Karla Ostolaza, the managing director of the immigration practice at Bronx Defenders. The lawyers were told they should check back next week.
“We have no idea what is happening with our clients right now,” Ms. Ostolaza said.

“The apparent rush in this case, culminating today in the embarrassing retraction of charges, suggests a failure to adequately investigate. Your office must operate with a higher standard than that,”Espinosa said.

Via #Newark, #NJ Mayor #RasBaraka:
This is the moment I was invited into #DelaneyHall. Nobody was kicking or shoving like the coverage suggests. We were invited in.

This is just a remarkable stream of outright lies from dog killer #KristiNoem. She claims that #House #Democrats committed felonies, violently attacked, assaulted & punched #ICE agents at #DelaneyHall in #Newark, #NJ.
They were literally sitting in an area that detention facility ofcls asked them to wait in.
How is anyone letting her get away with this?

#MayorBaraka of #NewarkNJ, arrested at #immigration #DetentionCenter he has been #protesting
By JAKE OFFENHARTZ and CLAUDIA LAUER
Updated 7:00 PM EDT, May 9, 2025"Newark Mayor Ras Baraka was arrested Friday at a federal immigration detention center where he has been protesting its opening this week, a federal prosecutor said.
"Alina Habba, interim U.S. attorney for New Jersey, said on the social platform X that Baraka committed trespass and ignored warnings from #HomelandSecurity personnel to leave #DelaneyHall, a detention facility run by private prison operator #GeoGroup.
[...]
"Video shows the mayor standing on the public side of the gate
"In video of the altercation shared with The Associated Press, a federal official in a jacket with the logo of the Homeland Security Investigations can be heard telling Baraka he could not join a tour of the facility because 'you are not a congress member.'
"Baraka then left the secure area, rejoining protesters on the public side of the gate. Video showed him speaking through the gate to a man in a suit, who said: 'They’re talking about coming back to arrest you.'
" 'I’m not on their property. They can’t come out on the street and arrest me,' Baraka replied."

#Baraka, 55, is a #Democrat running for #governor of #NewJersey. Kabir Moss, a spox for Baraka's campaign, confirmed the #arrest at the facility #DelaneyHall.
At least 3 #House #Democrats from NJ were also at the detention center, acc/to a post from Rep #BonnieWatsonColeman.
…The mayor's admin filed a lawsuit in late March to block the opening of the #Newark #immigrant #detention facility, arguing its operators failed to obtain the proper permits & violated city code.
