Shut Down North Lake Correctional Facility
No For-Profit Immigrant Detention Camps in Michigan
GEO Group—the largest private prison corporation in the US—will attempt to open Michigan’s first for-profit detention center for immigrants in Baldwin, Michigan on October 1st.
GEO Group is an industry leader in human-rights abuses and deaths at its facilities. A federal judge described their facilities as, “a cesspool of unconstitutional and inhuman acts and conditions”.
GEO has been sued multiple times for forcing detainees to work for food, water and toiletries.
Join us as we deliver a petition to support immigrants and refugees and demand Congress rejects Trump's $3 billion budget plan to terrorize immigrants. Trump's budget will pay for the following: $1.5 billion for the construction of a new immigration detention center, 45000 immigrants are in detention camps every day, $1.4 billion to build a disastrous border wall, $314 million to hire 500 additional border patrol agents, and 1000 ICE officials to break down doors, fabricate charges, racially profile and deport immigrants.
