@cluejustice @LAneveragain @aclu_socal @detentionwatch @chirla_org @earthjustice @immdef_lawcenter @lbirc562 #FirstTen to #CommunitiesNotCages 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.

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.

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

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
