ICE deporting working migrants to Hawaii prison from U.S. mainland as detention facilities overflow. - FIVE MINUTE NEWS



ICE's new resources will fuel an intense initiative to recruit as many as 10,000 new agents who will have a presence in cities like New York City and Los Angeles, and throughout the United States. And the money comes as a windfall for private prison companies, who have already rushed to pitch the administration on new contracts to run detention facilities. For now, ICE is deporting migrants across the Pacific, to Honolulu. - 08/12/2025.

We send folks to Arizona because we don’t have the room. This is so fucked up.
