Wakulla County, FL terminated its contract w/ ICE after profiting off of immigration detention for the past 30 yrs. Similar to Wakulla, the Glades County Detention Center is $28 million in debt to its bondholders & recently faced allegations of contract & civil rights violations. 
Immigrant detention is inhumane, unnecessary & costly. Local governments have no business supporting this system. We call on Glades County & other County-run facilities in FL to immediately end their contracts with ICE & stop endangering lives. #AbolishDetention #ShutDownGlades
Last month, DWN joined 8 other groups in filing a federal civil rights complaint against the Glades County Detention Center. Through 25 testimonies, the complaint details human rights violations happening inside the facility. miamiherald.com/news/local/imm… #ShutDownGlades #EndDetention
