No-bid contracts with politically connected companies have become crucial to holding immigrants for deportation.

With Donald Trump’s administration taking a more aggressive approach to deportations, Sacramento immigrants must contend with heightened fear at court.

ICE's mass deportation agenda threatens to dramatically escalate the use of detention, which is plagued by abuse and neglect, and the Trump administration's detention and deportation agenda diverts billions from investments that foster real public safety.

The case of a 19-year-old Mexico-born college student in Georgia who ended up in a detention center after a mistaken traffic stop highlights what young people without legal status face.

"In accordance with Colorado law, the Mesa County Sheriff’s Office does not investigate residency status during any law enforcement interactions," the release stated, before explaining that the deputy who made the stop regularly worked with federal law enforcement.

In the days before protests erupted in Los Angeles, the Trump administration stepped up its efforts to detain migrants — taking into custody those who arrived for routine check-ins while also conducting workplace raids that have sent waves of fear across Southern California and beyond.

The city of Omaha is trying to forge ahead following the raid's chilling effect on the local workforce and the community at large.
