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…
The good news is that when the public last pressured ICE to release minors held in Cowlitz county, ICE did wind up releasing some. Taking action helps! Use this link: action.aclu.org/send-message/t…
You can also email ICE Field Office Director Nathalie Asher at nathalie.r.asher@ice.dhs.gov or call the office at (206) 835-0650 + leave a msg. Tell her to release all detained children in Cowlitz county immediately. With his birthday 1 day away, Arthur's fate is in her hands.
Cowlitz County also needs to hear from you. Tell them to end their contract with ICE immediately. Making money from the illegal imprisonment of children is a disgrace. actionnetwork.org/letters/cowlit…
