As Private Prison Stocks Soar, Immigrant Rights Activists Vow to Fight Trump's Mass Deportation Plan



Incoming President Trump's vow to deport millions of undocumented immigrants when he starts his term has sent private prison stocks soaring. Immigrant rights advocates, including our guest, the executive director of Detention Watch Network, Silky Shah, are preparing for the Trump administration's threats of mass deportation, a central tenet of his presidential campaign. "The first Trump campaign was defined by the border wall, and this one is really defined by mass deportations," says Shah. If the Biden administration wants to protect immigrants' rights before Trump takes office, she adds, it must begin reducing detention capacity by "shutting down facilities now."

Cost billions to house otherwise productive people in corporate owned prisons for years at the taxpayers expense. Fuck the trump voters.

But with the courts in his pocket, these people don't stand a chance. All of these people will be in camps before their cases even get to a judge.

And they'll be used as forced labor by the private prisons until their cases are heard. And then they'll be deported!!!
