Jesus is trying to push forward in his life after a year away from his family, but worries. “I’m only out because of the coronavirus. Once it’s over, I’m scared that they might come and pick me up again.” https://t.co/BF46cxEnt1 — PolitiTweet.org

Detention centers are hotspots for the virus, and Jesus has high blood pressure and asthma. A federal judge ordered that he and other medically vulnerable people be released from civil immigration detention. https://t.co/TtohHNaZkg — PolitiTweet.org

“We started hearing rumors that [COVID] was already in other cellblocks. The [guards] kept on quitting. They were overworked always, but once COVID hit, forget it, they were understaffed. It came to a point where we’d be on lockdown for 23.5 hours a day.” https://t.co/q0Fxzj1wGK — PolitiTweet.org

The officers took Jesus to Pike County Correctional Facility in Pennsylvania, where he was put in solitary confinement for three days. Jesus had been detained for nearly a year when the COVID-19 pandemic started. https://t.co/4XtrZRASfh — PolitiTweet.org

That future was interrupted on April 2, 2019, when ICE officers arrived at his home. “I came out to warm up the car to bring my kids to school, when an officer grabbed me by my neck. They showed me their badge, which said ICE, and I realized they’d come for me.” https://t.co/AQNSz7KLKN — PolitiTweet.org

Westlaw and Lexis databases are the backbone of every ACLU lawyer’s job, but they’re also fueling the mass deportation and detention system. We’re joining #NoTechForICE to call on private companies not to sell their data and tools to ICE and CBP. https://t.co/OICCKnoDJB — PolitiTweet.org

There is no path to ending mass incarceration in the United States without ending this current system of wealth-based, pretrial detention. Cash bail is ransom. It's time to end it. https://t.co/cXvk6EJX5n — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

Black and Latinx people are on average assigned substantially higher amounts of bail than white people for similar crimes, meaning that they are much more likely to land in jail simply because they can’t afford to pay. Cash bail targets poor people and people of color. https://t.co/HdFoJoDzls — PolitiTweet.org

What are the effects of pretrial detention? 🚫higher likelihood of sentencing 🚫longer sentences 🚫loss of health & physical safety 🚫physical & psychological trauma 🚫loss of relationships & economic support Again, this can all happen before a person has even had a fair trial. https://t.co/j7onRgxU9D — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

The US and the Philippines are the only two countries in the world where a for-profit bail system allows private corporations to decide who is wealthy enough to be free. This means that we are unique in allowing companies to profit off of this form of incarceration. https://t.co/UuywzjViBz — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

Every day, hundreds of thousands of people in the US — the largest incarcerator in the world — are detained pretrial. There is one main driver of this: Profit. Cash bail is a profit-making, prejudiced machine. https://t.co/7qm1YYmnij — PolitiTweet.org

Many of us have spent the past few months supporting community bail funds that are preventing protesters and other community members from being forced into incarceration before trial. But where does this system come from? https://t.co/4NlQnZwAfz — PolitiTweet.org
