Immigration Detention - Women on the Border

IMMIGRATION ABCs

Immigrant Detention

Immigrant detention has greatly expanded since 2014. A surge in unaccompanied minors during the Obama administration led to a policy of using detention, including family detention, as a way to deter people from coming to the US. The majority of immigrant detention centers in the US are run by private, for-profit corporations such as Corrections Corporation of America and GEO Group.
