@Potus

People are uniting to protect immigrant communities by calling to shut down existing detention centers & blocking ICE proposals to build new ones.

@Potus @VP @SecMayorkas We urge you to close down the #FirstTen facilities this year.

@SBCountyPH

There is a health crisis at the local Adelanto ICE jail. ICE & GEO fail to follow sanitary food and water guidelines causing an H.pylori outbreak @SBCountyPH Act now before it's too late.
#ShutDownAdelanto #FirstTen #CommunitiesNotCages

@GEOGroup

@GEOGroup has failed to follow @SBCountyPH safety recommendations. Instead the unsanitary conditions expose immigrants to H.pylori and put immigrants' lives at risk. @POTUS shut it down once and for all! #ShutDownAdelanto #FirstTen #CommunitiesNotCages

The 10 immigration detention centers communities are calling on the Biden administration to close down represent every single detention center where immigrants needlessly suffer. This list represents a beginning to dismantling ICE detention, a #FirstTen to #CommunitiesNotCages.⁣

The Adelanto Detention Center’s record is rife with abuse. This month, Martin Vargas tragically died, 3 days after ICE released him from the CA facility after he suffered from a stroke & COVID-19 inside.

#FirstTen #CommunitiesNotCages latimes.com/california/sto…

Why #FirstTen to #CommunitiesNotCages is calling to #ShutDownAdelanto:

7 people have died at Adelanto since it opened. Just last yr, people reported that GEO Group used a toxic chemical disinfectant inside the facility, causing people to develop bloody noses, burning eyes

Biden has yet to address ICE’s detention system.

2020 was the deadliest fiscal yr in ICE custody since 2005. W/ detention #'s currently at their lowest in 20 yrs, #FirstTen to #CommunitiesNotCages underscores the urgent need to close detention centers & release people now

@DetentionWatch

#FirstTen to #CommunitiesNotCages is demanding the shut down of 10 detention centers in Biden's 1st year. #FirstTen is the next phase of @DetentionWatch’s #CommunitiesNotCages campaign to shut down ICE facilities, stop the expansion/construction of new ones and #EndDetention

The #FirstTen detention centers are emblematic of how the immigration detention system as a whole is inherently abusive, unjust and fatally flawed beyond repair. #CommunitiesNotCages
