America Is Detaining Children for Profit, With Your Tax Dollars

In the local area, concerns are being raised about the detention of children in immigration facilities. It is known that these facilities are part of a for-profit system, with American tax dollars being used to subsidize them. The system is supported by significant funding, with $45 billion allocated to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement for detention operations. Most facilities are privately run, with companies such as CoreCivic generating substantial revenue from their operations. Further details about the detention of children and the for-profit system are available from Ms. Magazine, which has reported on the issue in more depth.
