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 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
Immigrants are drinking water that contains dust and flies inside water containers that are never cleaned. We need to stop the #HPyloriPoison. #ShutDownAdelanto #FirstTen #CommunitiesNotCages
The @ICEgov immigrant detention center in the High Desert has been abusing hundreds of people, each with families and communities. Our local government shouldn’t be working for a prison corporation. We say #ShutDownAdelanto #CommunitesNotCages @CityofAdelanto
An @EPA issued a report that found @GEOgroup guilty of misusing toxic pesticides. This confirms what we’ve always known-ICE and GEO do not care about the safety and health of immigrants. #ShutDownAdelanto #FirstTen #CommunitiesNotCages
@GEOgroup and ICE have been poisoning immigrants at the Adelanto Detention Center for a decade. This is torture, Adelanto must be shut down. bit.ly/ICEOT #ShutDownAdelanto #FirstTen #CommunitiesNotCages
What happens when high desert communities denounce poisoning Immigrants? @CityofAdelanto and @GEOgroup ignore the violence, while residents are left with broken roads, underfunded schools, and a worsening housing crisis. #ShutDownAdelanto #FirstTen #CommunitiesNotCages
We should invest in our communities instead: fund affordable housing, improve public education—anything rather than giving our money away to @ICEgov. #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
#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

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.
.@Potus @vp @SecMayorkas With ICE detention #'s at its lowest in 20 yrs, the # of people in ICE custody should trend down as ppl are released & facilities are closed. We urge you to close the #FirstTen detention centers & cancel their contracts. #CommunitiesNotCages
.@POTUS @VP @SecMayorkas Yesterday, communities across the US took action to call on the Biden administration to shut down the #FirstTen detention centers & cancel their contracts during your first year in office. #CommunitiesNotCages
