Private Prisons Are Ramping Up Detention of Immigrants and Cashing In
The Trump administration is expected to use thousands more beds in these facilities as part of its mass deportation effort.
It Is Happening Every Day, Every Where
The Trump administration is expected to use thousands more beds in these facilities as part of its mass deportation effort.
President Trump’s promise to launch the largest deportation operation in U.S. history is colliding with the practical difficulties of detaining people and transporting them across the globe.
Mr. Hegseth served at the U.S. Navy base as a National Guard lieutenant. The base is now being used to hold some migrants who face deportation.
The base had been cleared of migrants since Thursday, after the government sent 177 to Venezuela and one back to the United States.
The migrants from around the world did not know where they were or what would happen to them, according to an independent government entity.
The leadership change comes as the president aims to make good on a promise of mass deportations and arrests of undocumented immigrants across the United States.
The move would be a drastic escalation by the White House to militarize immigration enforcement.
Lawsuits are challenging President Trump’s abrupt decision to send men awaiting deportation to the American military base in Cuba.
The Trump administration has said little about the Venezuelan men who were transferred from Texas to the U.S. military base in Cuba.
A memo appears to allow Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials to target programs that let in more than a million people.
