Her husband, who mentors PhD students at the Chicago School, was picked up on April 9th when he failed to collect their son from school. The next morning her car was surrounded and she watched her son, a California resident since pre-K who speaks only English, be handcuffed. They were moved to Texas overnight. Her husband went to the South Texas facility at Pearsall, alone. She was told that in their case family separation is the policy, and they speak for ten supervised minutes every two weeks. When they finally asked to leave the country voluntarily, the government opposed it and signaled it would appeal any ruling allowing them to go. Tim Miller covered the letter on The Bulwark's podcast, alongside a second story about a US citizen who was lawfully observing ICE vehicles.

It's been a busy week in the small western Minnesota town of Appleton. First, the town learned the Department of Homeland Security is moving forward with plans to detain immigrants in a shuttered private prison nearby. Then, CoreCivic, the company that owns the prison, announced it is selling it to the federal government. It's expected to open this fall as an ICE detention center. CoreCivic will still manage the facility. But, as federal property, it may be exempt from taxes that currently support Appleton's budget. Appleton City Council member Jim Massee joined to talk more about what impacts this could have.

Luis Lamas left Oregon out of fear.    “I don't want to find out if they're going to put me in a detention center or if I'm going to live so many more years [here] and be told, you know what, no, you have to go back to your country,” he said in Spanish.    Lamas is among a growing number of people choosing to leave the U.S. out of fear of arrest or detention, as the Trump administration has promised to arrest or deport anyone without lawful status.

Imagine an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility. Is "detention center" the accurate way to describe it?Political scientists and legal scholars have been asking whether we're using the right language to talk about immigration enforcement. Some argue that calling them "immigrant jails," "immigration camps," or even "concentration camps" is more accurate.But others say using the term "concentration camp" diminishes the horrors of the Holocaust — the Nazi genocide of Jewish people.The debate around the language we use to describe immigration is not new. Experts have also considered how to describe the incarceration of Japanese Americans on U.S. soil during World War II.On KPBS Midday Edition, we sit down with three experts to help us unpack this debate and help us understand the weight of our language.Guests:Tom Wong, associate professor of political science, UC San Diego; director of U.S. Immigration Policy CenterRaquel Aldana, professor of law, UC DavisBenjamin Gonzalez O'Brien, professor of political science, San Diego State University; editor of Journal of Race, Ethnicity and PoliticsKeep reading:When do ‘detention centers' become ‘concentration camps'?

In this episode of the 360 Justice Podcast, host Brian Lee speaks with Special Projects Coordinator Ashley Burke, who served as lead project manager for Jackson County, MO's new 470,000-square-foot, 1,000-bed detention center. She highlights the behind-the-scenes collaboration among corrections, the sheriff, courts, prosecutor, maintenance, and county leadership, and how “justice with dignity” shaped decisions like calming colors, murals, natural light, courtyards, acoustics, and staff spaces. Burke explains why the county replaced its 1984 jail after years of studies citing overcrowding, deferred maintenance, and outdated design, and how COVID-era inflation drove the budget from $256 million to about $330 million and reduced the plan from 1,200 to 1,000 beds.  Listeners will hear real-world lessons on codes, road work, concrete-floor fixes, and transition planning amid staffing shortages, plus Burke's candid advice to plan bigger and think beyond “it's just a jail”—a must-listen for leaders planning their next facility.

Immigrant detention facilities are being bought and retrofitted seemingly overnight without public input across the U.S., and there's little to no notice given to local governments. How can this happen? It's all traced back to a war-focused contracting method Immigration and Customs Enforcement has been using to its advantage. But first, the New York Times reports that the president is considering setting up a safety-vetting process for AI models.
