the latest addition to ICE’s rapidly expanding southern detention network is the LaSalle Correctional Center in Olla, Louisiana, a jail run by the private prison company LaSalle Corrections. motherjones.com/politics/2019/…
After Trump forced a gov shutdown in Dec legislators averted another shutdown in Feb with a bipartisan bill that directed ICE to go from detaining nearly 49,000 people to 40,520 by Oct. Instead, ICE has pushed its detention population to all-time highs. The agency was detaining a
record-high 55,220 people as of Saturday and has been rapidly contracting with new private prisons to house that increased number of detainees.
FYI? THESE NEW PRIVATE PRISONS ARE ALL OWNED BY MAJOR GOP DONORS. GET IT YET?
@SenJeffMerkley @RepAdamSchiff WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

8 new private prisons since February!
The LaSalle Correctional Center is one of eight detention centers that ICE has started using in Louisiana and Mississippi since February, the month Congress directed the agency to detain fewer people.
DHS, HHS, and ICE have gone rogue.
