New Jersey activists won a ban on private prisons, but the Biden administration is now backing CoreCivic, a private prison company, in a lawsuit against the state law.
The Elizabeth Detention Center is a personal issue for us. Hidden between warehouses and at the end of a lonely alley, it is one of over 200 facilities across the country where the federal government jails undocumented immigrants. Over the years, our organization,, as well as other state groups, have been organizing against the deportation and detention of the members of our community.
Immigration detention is designed to be cruel, because to this day, undocumented immigrants continue to be seen as subhuman and as commodities to profit from. CoreCivic makes profits for every immigrant person locked in its jail. Yet, as long as ICE has existed, we have resisted; New Jersey communities have always organized against them.
