Screenshot of a formal letter addressed to “Mr. Van Saun” from a longtime Massachusetts Citizens Bank customer. The writer condemns Citizens’ financing of private prison companies CoreCivic and GEO Group, citing allegations of forced labor, medical neglect, and harm to communities. The letter states that Citizens helped provide over $2 billion in credit in spring 2024, announces the writer will close all Citizens accounts, and says they are joining a boycott and encouraging others to do the same. The signature is redacted.

"I can no longer tolerate your complicity or contribute to it with my money. I will be closing all my Citizens accounts this month." 🔥

Thank you. Closing my citizens account today!

New bill would tax 50% of profits from private ICE detention centers in California The bill, AB 1633, is aimed at limiting the profits of the detention centers, which take in hundreds of millions of dollars annually throughout the state.

“ICE is engaged in a reign of terror across the country and they plan to grow their attacks on California,” Assemblymember Matt Haney said. “We have to be ready, and this is a way we can undermine their ability to operate here.”

“Throughout history, boycotts have been one of the strongest tools of successful social movements because unjust authority needs our cooperation to keep going.”

I don't want to support anyone who keeps kids in cages as a career. I don't want to support anyone who votes to keep kids in cages or gets paid to put or keep kids in cages or earns money lending other people money to keep kids in cages.

You know, in general, I don’t think kids belong in cages.

The documents disclosed by ICE also provide information regarding the history of facility use, available transport, proximity to local hospitals, immigration courts, and legal services. The facilities under consideration include: The Augusta Correctional Center in Craigsville, VA. The proposal states that the detention center is in discussions with a private operator to run the facility. The facility recently closed in 2024, and people held at the facility have endured sexual assault. Former officers at the correctional center have also plead guilty to smuggling drugs into the facility. The Rivers Correctional Facility in Winton, NC, which is owned and operated by the GEO Group, Inc. The GEO Group previously lost federal contracts to detain people at this facility due to findings of violence and sexual assault at the facility. Former officers at the facility were also recently sentenced for contraband and bribery. An unidentified facility – likely the former American Hebrew Academy, run by the Baptiste Group – located in or near Greensboro, NC. The facility had previously been slated to serve as a migrant children’s detention facility but was shut down in 2024. An unidentified facility run by HomelandsUSA, which has supported the construction of the border wall in the past. An unidentified facility run by the Baptiste Group, located in or near Harrisburg, PA. Another unidentified facility in an undesignated location, which ICE seeks to use as a “base camp.”

Citizens Bank says they work with "companies that conduct their business in a lawful manner," but they're fine with this ⬇️

Enough is enough. 3.7.26

A masked federal agent stands behind a chain-link fence while a small child in a blue hooded jacket walks in front of him. Overlaid text reads: “A masked federal agent used 5-year-old Liam Ramos as bait, having him knock on his door to see if anyone else was home, before shipping him to an ICE prison run by CoreCivic.” A green banner at the bottom shows a quote attributed to Citizens Bank: “Citizens Bank engages with companies that conduct their business in a lawful manner and if that is not the case, we are prepared to exit the relationship.” The URL boycottcitizens.org appears in the corner.

Citizens Bank finances ICE prison company CoreCivic.

Apparently, they're fine with this.

Screenshot of a Facebook post by “Texas Nicaraguan Community” announcing the conclusion of a fundraiser for the repatriation of Victor Manuel Diaz, who died in ICE detention in El Paso. The post states that $5,821 was raised, with $4,750 paid to Hernandez Funeral Home and $1,721 sent to his mother. Below are images of a check and funeral home receipt, a photo of a young man in a jacket, and a woman holding a sign asking for help with repatriation. A donation summary at the bottom shows “$5,821 raised” from 144 donors.

An update on the fundraiser for Victor Manuel Díaz. Thank you for amplifying this!

SCOOP: ICE Has Failed to Disclose Info About 8 Immigrants’ Deaths, Defying Congress Trump has ICE detaining more people than ever. The agency keeps failing to report information about immigrants’ deaths in its custody.

They've been out of compliance with this congressional requirement for more than five weeks.

Elizabeth Warren: "I am a 'hell no.' We cannot give one more penny to Trump's ICE while its masked, poorly trained agents terrorize people across this country. It's time for the Senate to step up and stop ICE's violence."

We are our leaders.
