This is not a good sign for immigrants. Donald's making a place to house illegals and fill the coffers of his billionaire friends.
Jeff Sessions Reverses Obama-Era Policy That Curtailed DOJ’s Private Prison Use

It's all about the Benjamin's
| Quote: |
The two largest private prison companies have told investors that they have room to accommodate increased use of their prisons by federal or state and local authorities. On an earnings call with stock analysts this week, executives at GEO Group emphasized that their company has a total of 5,000 spots in its prisons that are presently either unused or underutilized. |
| Quote: | | “Private prison companies invested hundreds of thousands of dollars in Donald Trump’s presidential campaign and today they got their reward: the Trump administration reversed the Obama administration’s directive to reduce the Justice Department’s use of private prisons,” Sanders said in a statement. “At a time when we already have more people behind bars than any other country, Trump just opened the floodgates for private prisons to make huge profits by building more prisons and keeping even more Americans in jail.” |
