Inside the ICE Detention Boom: Soaring Abuse Claims and Little Oversight

While the Department of Homeland Security publicly claims to be
resetting its tactics around immigration arrests, it's been
building out its capacity to house detained migrants by buying up
almost a dozen warehouses. If opened, they would dramatically
expand a system that’s seen more than 40 deaths since Trump took
office and is facing staggering accounts of human rights abuses.
Kara speaks with three experts who’ve been tracking the Trump
administration’s detention boom: Ximena Bustillo, Homeland Security
Department and immigration policy correspondent for NPR; Austin
Kocher, a political and legal geographer and a research assistant
professor at the Syracuse University who tracks immigration
enforcement data on his Substack; and Aaron Reichlin-Melnick, a
lawyer and senior fellow at the American Immigration Council.
