Demand an immediate investigation into conditions at Delaney Hall in Newark and end the GEO Group's $1 billion, 15-year contract to run it. No corporation should profit from locking people up — that financial incentive doesn't make detention safer or more humane, it makes abuse inevitable. Making money off imprisonment is an affront to life, liberty, and happiness, because it gives corporations every reason to ruin as many lives as possible. Senator Kim personally witnessed an 18-year-old student, a pregnant woman without OB/GYN care, a miscarriage victim denied medical attention, and spoiled food. Nearly 300 detainees signed an S.O.S. letter describing worm-infested meals, no treatment for HIV, cancer, and diabetes, and immigration judges handling 74 cases a day — roughly 5 minutes per person. DHS responded by calling these concerns "political stunts" and moving hunger strike organizer Martin Soto to a different facility after protesters showed up. That's retaliation, not governance. Nearly 50 ICE detainees have died in custody. These are our neighbors, and Matthew 25 is unambiguous about how we treat the hungry, the sick, and the stranger. End the GEO Group contract, restore independent oversight of Delaney Hall, and ensure detainees receive adequate medical care now. This isn't just an ICE detention problem — for-profit prisons across America operate on the same logic, and I expect you to push back on that model wherever it operates.
