Tomorrow is "Arthur's" 18th birthday. He's been held for 9 mos by ICE in Cowlitz county youth jail, despite never being charged with a crime. ICE plans to wake him up at 5 am + send him to #NWDC in Tacoma, defying a federal judge's order (relevant text of the order below)... 
Cowlitz County has been paid about $45,900 for collaborating in the arbitrary detention of this boy, per the terms of its contract with ICE below (the day rate was amended in 2017 to $170/day)...
But tomorrow, ICE wants to move him to #NWDC so GEO can start to pocket that nightly $$$. Again, he's never been charged with a crime; ICE separated him from his family in the US w/o any public safety justification. He's being caged for cash... jsis.washington.edu/humanrights/20…

He arrived in the US as an unaccompd minor at 14; ICE has never shown evidence he is a danger or a flight risk. But Cowlitz Co. is making $170/night to warehouse him, until the cash he generates can be transferred to GEO... jsis.washington.edu/humanrights/20…
Months ago, Cowlitz released all US citizen children from its youth jail in order to protect them from the spread of COVID-19, but migrant children continue detained -- even in case like this boy, who has never been charged with a crime in his life...
