7:32Now PlayingGEO Group just got a lucrative contract from the government to detain undocumented immigrants. Ana Kasparian, Brian Unger, and Amberia Allen, the hosts of The Young Turks, break it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
“AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — A private prison company announced Thursday it has won a $110-million federal contract to build in Texas the first new immigrant detention center under the Trump administration.
The GEO Group said that its 1,000-bed detention facility will be in Conroe, north of Houston, and will open by the end of next year. The facility coincides with President Donald Trump’s promised expansion of immigration detention, part of a larger crackdown on immigrants in the country illegally that includes detaining people seeking asylum while they go through immigration proceedings.
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement already has a record of more than 41,000 detainees.
The agency has also identified an additional 21,000 unused beds that it plans to use for detention, according to a memo reported Wednesday by the Washington Post. That memo notes that “ICE will be unable to secure additional detention capacity until funding has been identified.”
