Economist Amartya Sen won a Nobel in part for asking: Why did India avoid the mass famines that killed tens of millions in China? His answer: a free press. Journalists could expose suffering and shame governments into action. Silence and avoidance, by contrast, can be deadly.

Again: competitive bidding processes for these vendor contracts are circumvented through an emergency order DeSantis signed in January of 2023. $290 million in public funds steered to no-bid contracts for vendors operating at Alligator Alcatraz.

New program has Midland County Jail inmates disposing of deer carcasses Midland County inmates volunteer to clear dead deer from local roads, helping keep streets safe and clean in a new sheriff's office program.

Another way someone could have written this story is to emphasize that those incarcerated are so desperate to get "fresh" air that they volunteer to dispose deer carcasses because they haven't been outside in months, according to the sheriff.

Anyway, for me, the vision is something like this: America should be a society that works to fulfill the promise of democracy β€” we should have the agency to live at our own direction. Not as victims of circumstance or under the thumb of the wealthy and powerful. Our lives are our own.

This article gets it right. ICE held more than 400 people at Cibola in late April. Since then, ICE seems to be holding fewer people at this location.

Our calculations suggest that around 185 people were detained at this location on July 21.

At @relevantresearch.bsky.social, we've received a lot of helpful feedback on the Detention Reports. Many many thanks to the people who have given us suggestions on ways to improve the site. We're still working to incorporate some of those thoughts into these reports as well as expand the analysis.

Sometimes, ICE makes statistical reporting mistakes.

We have documented some of those cases and how we are handling each one.

The link may change when we integrate this into the directory page, but for now, you can find the notes page here:

ICE Detention Facilities Statistics With searchable features for State, City, and Zip Code, in addition to the general search bar.

Since there are so many ICE facilities (184 included on our list) it becomes difficult to sort. Many people gave us feedback about the directory page with a specific request for a feature that would allow a person to filter facilities by State.

Done.

You can also search by City or Zip Code.

the real problem is that the entire immigration legal apparatus is designed to give maximum punitive flexibility to the executive, and extremely limited beneficent flexibility. Congress and the courts have stacked the deck against immigrants for decades
