"With my budget, I can afford to make three calls per week. The rate is 6 cents per minute. My dad tells me I should only call once per week. He wants me to spend the rest of my money on food."

Pie chart showing that at least 26,200 people don't appear in ICE detention statistics. Instead, they appear in available data as "holds" in local jails or as part of U.S. Marshals or Bureau of Prisons custody populations, making it harder to grasp the full scope of rapidly-expanding immigration detention.
ICE says that it currently detains 57,000 people βΒ but the reality is that there are at least 26,000 MORE people detained for immigration reasons hidden off the agency's books:
