So their strategy is to violently detain volunteers to scare people from volunteering. We need states and localities to start investigating ICE tactics and if laws were broke, ICE agents need to face charges.

Could ICE detention funding trickle down to Virginia's closed prisons? Details on how that $45 billion could trickle down into new detention facilities are still being worked out.

ust over a year ago, Virginia closed four prisons run by the state.

Part of President Donald Trump’s budget bill included billions in new funds for detaining those taken by Immigration and Customs Enforcement. And in some places, that’s meant reopening old facilities.
