The article discusses Akima, a corporate conglomerate managing the US immigration detention center at Guantanamo Bay, which has been scrutinized for its handling of migrant facilities. Audits reveal alarming incidents of excessive force at its Miami facility. With a significant contract from the Biden administration to operate at Guantanamo through 2029, Akima's historical context of migrant detention and current practices are under scrutiny, especially as Trump's administration plans to escalate the detainment of immigrants there.
A federal audit revealed disturbing details about migrant lockups run by Akima, including inappropriate use of force, highlighting serious concerns over conditions at these facilities.
Despite the past use of Guantanamo's migrant facility for tens of thousands, Akima's recent oversight has seen it detain very few migrants, raising questions about its future role.
