Yosvani Gacita Negrin was born in Cuba but came to the U.S. as a baby, never realizing that his lack of citizenship would one day turn his life upside down. After getting involved with drugs and being arrested by the feds, he spent three years in a private prison before being transferred to ICE custody for deportation. But when Cuba refused to take him back, Yosvani was released—left in legal limbo, unable to fully move forward with his life. #ImmigrationPrison #DetentionCenter #PrivatePrison #ImmigrationDetention #ICEDetention #PrisonStory #HumanRights #TheSystemExposed Connect with Yogi: Youtube: https://youtube.com/@havefaithshowlovegivehope?si=Lu9ppGiP9lYjxGLk Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/YogiGacita?mibextid=ZbWKwL Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/yosvanigacita/profilecard/?igsh=MWN3b2RybW95bmMyZA== Hosted, Executive Produced & Edited By Ian Bick: https://www.instagram.com/ian_bick/?hl=en https://ianbick.com/ Presented by Tyson 2.0 & Wooooo Energy: https://tyson20.com/ https://woooooenergy.com/ Buy Merch: https://convictclothing.net/collections/convict-clothing-x-ian-bick Timestamps: 00:00:00 Introduction and Podcast Promotion 00:05:01 Escaping Cuba: A Personal Journey 00:10:07 Heroin Indictment and Legal Consequences 00:15:16 Life in Immigration Prisons: Personal Experience and Insights 00:20:11 Prison Life and Inmate Hierarchy 00:25:10 Dangers of Returning to the Dominican Republic 00:30:13 Prison Life: Social Dynamics and Routines 00:35:00 Life Before and After Prison 00:39:41 Leadership Dynamics Among Cuban Prisoners 00:44:36 Prison Respect and Culture 00:49:20 Immigration Visitation Concerns 00:54:30 Life Inside County Jail and Deportation Process 00:59:27 Immigration Detention and Release Process 01:04:24 From Podcasts to Fitness Motivation 01:09:37 Building Bridges Through Faith and Conversation 01:14:50 Navigating Immigration Challenges in the U.S. 01:19:53 Reflections on Citizenship and Politics Powered by: Just Media House : https://www.justmediahouse.com/ Creative direction, design, assets, support by FWRD: https://www.fwrd.co Learn more about your ad choices.

The USA locks up more migrants in its immigration detention facilities than any other country in the world. Already operating over capacity, the Trump administration has ramped up its campaign of immigration raids, allegedly instructing ICE to hit quotas of 3,000 arrests a day. The ‘One Big Beautiful Bill' will, if approved by the Senate, appropriate tens of billions of extra dollars for ICE, and immigration and border law enforcement more broadly.  Without the facilities to house these detainees, thousands now face the imminent possibility of being removed to Guantanamo, or else held in new ‘soft-sided facilities' where the already inadequate guidelines for detainee welfare will be watered down further, in order to expedite their creation. We are joined on the show by Nancy Hiemstra and Deirdre Conlon, authors of Immigration Detention Inc.: The Big Business of Locking up Migrants. We discuss the ways immigration detention generates huge profits for some, while those detained are starved, sickened, and exploited as a matter of routine. We also talk about how immigration detention has expanded in 2025 under Trump, and the ways in which it can be resisted and dismantled.

Do asylum seekers in the U.S. have rights? Can the U.S. government forcibly deport them to a prison in El Salvador without due process? What about green card holders attending college? Since taking office, President Trump has focused on legal and undocumented immigrants alike, from Venezuelan asylum seekers to visa and green card college students—invoking the Alien Enemies Act to deport some, and even defying court orders. In this episode, Stanford Law immigration law expert Jennifer Chacón joins Rich Ford for a discussion about these unprecedented actions while also addressing the broader implications for human rights and the U.S.'s role as a refuge for persecuted individuals—and the potential for America's diminished international reputation and influence in the world.Links:Jennifer Chacón >>> Stanford Law pageLegal Phantoms >>> Stanford Law pageSurveillance Footage Shows Arrest of Tufts U.

The company that’s run Australia’s immigration detention network for over a decade, British conglomerate Serco, has lost its contract, but not before helping build what’s been called one of the world’s ‘most extreme and secretive’ detention regimes. Across the life of the contract, there have been scandals, incidents of self-harm and allegations of mistreatment and disproportionate use of force. The federal government’s decision to dump Serco has been welcomed by advocates and former detainees, but with a new private prison operator taking over, there’s little optimism that conditions will improve. Today, journalist and contributor to The Saturday Paper Denham Sadler on Serco’s ugly legacy and the future of immigration detention in Australia.

AP correspondent Donna Warder reports, the Immigration and Customs Enforcement has only a fraction of the money it needs to detain people living in the U.S. illegally.

As President Donald Trump and Border Czar Tom Homan begin their promised deportations, the latest episode of Parsing Immigration Policy discusses immigration detention - a key element in immigration enforcement. Andrew Arthur, the Center's Fellow in Law and Policy and a former immigration judge, details the purpose, history, and availability of immigration detention resources.Key Points:Civil, Not Criminal: Immigration detention is not a punishment but is instead a safeguard to ensure that aliens appear in court and for removal.Historical Context: Detention provisions trace back to at least the Immigration Act of 1903, steadily expanding from inadmissible aliens being detained at the ports of entry to include those entering illegally as well as for criminal aliens.Growing Need: With over 1.4 million individuals awaiting removal and a 34% no-show rate in immigration court, expanding detention capacity will become crucial to President Trump's immigration-enforcement efforts.Detention Options: ICE facilities, private contractors, and state prisons and county jails can all house detainees. The episode examines Biden-era restrictions aimed at restricting detention space.Alternative Space: From utilizing military bases to reinstituting “Remain in Mexico” policies, the new administration should not have a problem finding adequate detention space. HostMark Krikorian is the Executive Director of the Center for Immigration Studies.GuestAndrew Arthur is a Fellow in Law and Policy at the Center for Immigration Studies.RelatedGAO: One-Third of Immigration Court Aliens are No-ShowsU.S. Senate Testimony: Remain in MexicoIntro MontageVoices in the opening montage:Sen.

More than 13,000 immigrants convicted of homicide — either in the United States or abroad — are living outside of Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention, according to data ICE provided to Congress earlier this week. The immigrants are part of ICE's “non-detained” docket, meaning the agency has some information on the immigrants and they have pending immigration cases in the U.S., but they are not currently in detention either because they are not prioritized for detention, they are serving time in a jail or prison for their crimes, or because ICE cannot find them, three law enforcement officials said.

During the Trump Administration, scenes of children separated from parents and placed in chain link cells that looked like cages caused a national outcry. But the policy of immigration detention in the U.S. is far from new. With historical roots in slavery and the treatment of indigenous people, it has been used on Jews fleeing Nazi Germany, migrants from civil wars in Central America and immigrants from around the world since the policy was codified in 1891. In her new book, “In the Shadow of Liberty,” Stanford professor Ana Raquel Minian traces the nation's detention policy by focusing on individual stories of immigrants past and present. We talk to Minian about why she believes immigrant detention doesn't make us safer and her recommendations for a different path forward. Guests: Ana Raquel Minian, associate professor of history, Stanford University; author, "In the Shadow of Liberty" and "Undocumented Lives: The Untold Story of Mexican Migration"

The federal government will introduce legislation this week, to deal with the fallout from a High Court decision that ruled indefinite detention was illegal, resulting in the release of nearly 150 immigration detainees. The amendments, supported in principle by the Opposition, could see the worst offenders returned to detention.

Over the past few years, Australia's immigration detention policy, which was once the feature of political debates and elections, has stopped making front page news. That's until a recent high court decision deemed Australia's indefinite detention policy unlawful, leading to the release of over 140 people who had been in indefinite immigration detention. It's a decision that has sparked a scramble among Labor to come up with an immigration policy that is legal. Today, columnist for The Saturday Paper Paul Bongiorno on calls for more accountability in Australia's hardline immigration regime.  Socials: Stay in touch with us on Twitter and Instagram Guest: Columnist for The Saturday Paper, Paul Bongiorno.

In many immigration holding facilities, detainees can choose to work for wages. But is the language of choice in this context misleading? Katie Bales deploys the concept of unfree labor to explain what's going on within what she calls the immigration industrial complex. She emphasizes the historical and geopolitical factors that compel many detainees to agree to work for often miniscule wages. (Encore presentation.)
