In California, private, for-profit prison companies run all six ICE detention facilities and house 80% of ICE's detainees, raising concerns about human rights abuses.
State Sen. María Elena Durazo stated, 'Expanding detention correlates with increased ICE raids and family separation, with devastating social and economic impacts for California.'
ICE detains approximately 38,000 individuals daily across the nation, with roughly 3,000 in California, highlighting the scale of immigration detention.
The stock prices of private prison operators like CoreCivic and GEO Group surged after Trump's election, reflecting financial incentives tied to immigration enforcement.
