👨🏽⚖️ They SHUT off our access to a room for us to meet clients.
🤬 They won't let clients sign a waitlist.
🧐They've won't use a loudspeaker to call clients. They said it would be "fiscally irresponsible"
Normally our team consults ~100 clients a day, now we're down to ~30 ↘

The chaos at Karnes is enabled by @GEOGroup who have a multi-million dollar contract from the gov to run this facility.

It's shocking to see @ICEgov limiting access to counsel because a for-profit company is telling them to do so.
This is yet another reason why immigrant detention needs to END.
Allowing these companies to profit out of detaining our communities needs to stop.
