For-profit immigration detention expands as Trump accelerates deportation plans https://www.tucsonsentinel.com/nationworld/report/041925_detention_profit/for-profit-immigration-detention-expands-as-trump-accelerates-deportation-plans/
The Trump administration has largely turned to the for-profit, private prison industry to reopen or repurpose shuttered and aging facilities to dramatically expand the nation’s capacity for detaining immigrants who do not have legal authorization to be in the United States.

@jhlibby @TucsonSentinel Oh looky! I found a penny in a pile of turds!
@TucsonSentinel To incarcerate people who have been given no due process. Illegal detentions — for profit.
@TucsonSentinel I'd have a hard time finding any rational observer who thinks private prisons are a good idea. But at the very least, this is an opportunity for Congress to ban the use of US tax dollars to fund any incarceration abroad. That would align with Trump's make-it-in-America rants, and it's a perfect bill for Chris van Hollen to champion.
