We still don't know if there's any surveillance video of the January death of ICE detainee Geraldo Lunas Campos, which the coroner ruled a homicide. But GAO looked into it and found that evidence was "missing or destroyed"

this comes after DHS tried to deport two men who witnessed the events leading up to Lunas Campos's death and bravely shared those stories with me on the record washingtonpost.com/immigrati…

new report from GAO blames problems at Camp East Montana, the facility where Lunas Campos was killed, on the Trump administration's rushed timeline and selection of a contractor with no previous detention experience.

ICE is seeking to avoid accountability for the people who die from medical problems shortly after they are released from custody. Happy to speak about this with @ErielleReshef on @MSNOWNews

Today, the Washington Post published an investigation into the use of force in ICE detention centers, based on a trove of leaked ICE records. They also released much of the data behind their story (more outlets need to do this). 🧵

It's impossible to know everything that goes on inside detention centers. The reports we reviewed on use-of-force incidents lack much detail.
Literally the day after Trump was sworn on, the average word count in the narratives shrank to 1/3 the length

We published most of the data used to report this story in the hope it can be used to shine more light on the use of force against ICE detainees. You can download it here: github.com/wpinvestigative/i…

Striking detail via @dmac1: "The high expectations" of execs at GEO Group & Core Civic after Trump's reelection "have soured in recent months, as the Admin has courted start-ups & explored new methods" for immigration jails: washingtonpost.com/business/…

Update: ICE has switched contractors at Camp East Montana and said the facility will stay open: wapo.st/415gawR
I corrected my earlier story, which incorrectly said a document showed ICE was taking steps to close CEM. The doc only said ICE planned to terminate contract

Camp East Montana was supposed to be the Trump administration's model for a new breed of large-scale, makeshift immigrant detention centers. Eight tumultuous months later, ICE is preparing to close it. New from me @washingtonpost

Two companies have long dominated ICE detention: Geo Group and CoreCivic. Their business model is now under threat as ICE begins turning to less experienced firms to oversee its planned detention warehouses.

As communities have begged the government for more transparency around ICE warehouse plans, DHS has been quietly feeding misleading talking points to Republicans. New from @jocwapo and me
