Instead of releasing migrants from this awful prison, ICE and the prison corporation retaliated against them through solitary confinement, sleep deprivation, medical neglect, and further abusive treatment. Hunger strikers are now allegedly being threatened with force-feeding.
Georgia Detention Watch retweeted
This is the same ICE prison where migrants launched a mass hunger strike to protest prolonged detention and abysmal conditions including moldy food and threats and intimidation by the guards.

We call for an immediate independent investigation into this tragic death and for accountability. Folkston must be shut down immediately.

Another tragedy at an ICE prison in Georgia. 48-year-old Luis Sandoval has died while detained at the Folkston ICE Processing Center.
This was a preventable tragedy. We hold ICE and the private prison corporation fully responsible for any harm that migrants suffer at Folkston.

Twenty-five years after 9/11, the repressive tools built for the "War on Terror" are being used against Cop City opponents, pro-Palestine organizers, anti-ICE activists.

Trump’s domestic terrorism directive, NSPM-7, links “anti-capitalism” and “anti-Christianity” to political violence.
Tina Al-khersan and @ashahshahani examine its roots in 25 years of post-9/11 policing.

Twenty-five years after 9/11, the repression it was used to justify has only deepened.
In 2016, @ashahshahani and Stephanie Guilloud documented how the government criminalized Muslims, immigrants and political dissenters.

At least four migrants have died this year in Georgia while in the custody of ICE or shortly after their release.
Abolish ICE!

ICE must be held accountable. And this agency must be abolished immediately.

He should have never been detained at the notorious Irwin County Detention Center, especially given his medical condition. ICE's callous disregard towards the humanity of Jesus Manuel Arenas Silva, not even allowing him to take along his essential medication, is abominable.
Georgia Detention Watch retweeted
Yet another tragic death in ICE custody in Georgia. 45-year-old Jesus Manuel Arenas-Silva died on July 13th while being transferred from the Irwin Detention Center to the Folkston Detention Center.
The death of Jesus Manuel Arenas Silva was a preventable tragedy.

Some good news! ICE will no longer detain migrants at a warehouse in Social Circle.
Kudos to everyone who worked tirelessly towards this victory. Including Social Circle which brought a lawsuit against ICE to prevent conversation of this warehouse into a massive prison.
Onwards!
