ice is a financial investmentIn the town of Hudson, Colorado, just a handful of miles from my hometown, a new ICE facility is set to open, ran by private prison company GEO Group. How can people believe there’s a need for DHS, ICE, and immigration officers to be so violent and legally unstoppable? The Trump administration continues to deny any wrongdoing or unwarranted violence by ICE officers and insists citizens should be concerned for immigration officers, who willingly place themselves in these roles. Seeing ICE officers who are Hispanic and Latine brings so much shame to my heart. Today, ICE has contributed to a confirmed 34 casualties (now including Renee Good and Alex Pretti), the abduction of 170 American citizens, and the deportation of three American children.
