providing for detainees that now must not be rerleased= $$$$
April 6, 2018

President Trump issued a memorandum on Friday directing his administration to move quickly to bring an end to “catch and release,” the practice by which immigrants presenting themselves at the border without authorization are released from detention while waiting for their cases to be processed.

after seeing a reporter on MSNBC yesterday in front of one in San Diego. I even googled the street view to double check and got their phone number and called them to verify it. I was going to go out there but I have a fever again. The place has NO NAME (signage), just a plain white background with a design of a sun. I saw the street address on TV and wrote it down and the reporter said the name is Southwest Key Program. The facility that I saw on TV had a neighbor run out and talk to the reporter and he said he had no idea what was behind the big green fence that blocks the street view. You can read about them here.

. Private for profit prisons are run as a Business, with bottom line all important. Doesn't bode well for the prisoners, who are the business "product".

They have boards, lobbyists, shareholders, etc. Despite some of them having paid lots of money to settle fraud, etc. charges, they keep getting the contracts.

5. It's a nonprofit called Southwestern Key

Who has been working with immigrants and immigrant families in all sorts of ways for many decades.

Their website lays out a lot about them, who runs the organization and the rest.

I hope you didn’t bet your farm on if being Trumpsters.... especially since they had contracts to do the same under the Obama Administration as well.

8. Read the history

Look at what they do.

Go read the bio of the President and his history. I don’t think someone that has sat on the board of La Raza is in any way a “Trumpster”.
