'This is insane,' ICE officials warned about a temporary holding room with 80 people. @dmac1 @asteckelberg @n_kirkpatrick @lmshap have done an incredible piece capturing what that looks like, and it's sobering. Edited by @fittsofalexis and @maureenlinke washingtonpost.com/immigration/in…

DHS Inspector General is hiring a contractor to inspect ICE detention facilities, noting recent expansion "has stressed the system" leading to overcrowding, more detainee deaths and hiring of contractors "with little-to-no experience" sam.gov/workspace/cont… h/t @aaronjschaffer

ICE detention charges up to 2X what you'd pay at Walmart for the same products

DHS spent $1 billion on detention warehouses, reports @dmac1 and @jocwapo but is now seeking to sell most of them off, as Secretary Markwayne Mullin acknowledges "there was some due diligence that maybe wasn’t actually checked off.” washingtonpost.com/immigration/20…

(1/3) @ICEgov national detention standards are meant to protect detained people and regulate conditions in ICE facilities. But now, ICE is rewriting its own rules with a new goal in mind: placating its biggest contractor, private prison company @GEOGroup.

This is an insane story that’s not getting enough attention, especially given the grim record of deaths in detention under the Trump admin, and ongoing hunger strikes and protests over dangerous conditions. Great reporting @washingtonpost

"Geo asked that ICE remove lines saying contractors needed to follow state and local laws around the treatment of detainees and that ICE amend language to support its legal position in these cases." wapo.st/4giIJjm

ICE changed its detention standards to say that detainees are not employees and "are not entitled to wages or benefits under applicable wage laws or labor regulations." ICE knows that its contractors are being sued for not following state wage laws.

ICE's largest contractor asked the Trump administration to remove protections for immigrant detainees who work for as little as $1 a day.
In ICE's new national detention standards, they got their wish.

new report from GAO blames problems at Camp East Montana, the facility where Lunas Campos was killed, on the Trump administration's rushed timeline and selection of a contractor with no previous detention experience.

this comes after DHS tried to deport two men who witnessed the events leading up to Lunas Campos's death and bravely shared those stories with me on the record washingtonpost.com/immigration/20…
English
We still don't know if there's any surveillance video of the January death of ICE detainee Geraldo Lunas Campos, which the coroner ruled a homicide. But GAO looked into it and found that evidence was "missing or destroyed"

ICE is seeking to avoid accountability for the people who die from medical problems shortly after they are released from custody. Happy to speak about this with @ErielleReshef on @MSNOWNews

Today, the Washington Post published an investigation into the use of force in ICE detention centers, based on a trove of leaked ICE records. They also released much of the data behind their story (more outlets need to do this). 🧵
English
@washingtonpost We published most of the data used to report this story in the hope it can be used to shine more light on the use of force against ICE detainees. You can download it here: github.com/wpinvestigativ…
English
@washingtonpost It's impossible to know everything that goes on inside detention centers. The reports we reviewed on use-of-force incidents lack much detail.
Literally the day after Trump was sworn on, the average word count in the narratives shrank to 1/3 the length
