A House panel is escalating its investigation into the Trump administration's handling of migrants at the southern border by demanding that companies managing detention centers there hand over communications and documents pertaining to those businesses.

The Department of Homeland Security’s Inspector General has also detailed problematic conditions for migrants in multiple reports in ICE facilities since 2017.

The letter to CoreCivic also noted that the company’s chief financial officer told shareholders that 2019 has “exceeded expectations” due, in large part, to its detention facilities. GEO Group did not respond to a request for comment but CEO George Zoley has told shareholders that the first quarter of 2019 was “financially and operationally the best in our history," according to Democrats.

GarrettHaake Is there an actual point. They'll just ignore request.

I’m beyond sick of the Democrats; and that includes their mouthpieces in the media.

Dirty peoples going to be dirty and can't nobody do nothing about it talking loud and nobody hear it that America for you everybody no when Trump became President everybody that was a racist was coming out and things was going to be ugly again because with him it's white Power

Fix our broken immigration laws! It's the only thing that will fix the problem, but they don't really care, they'd rather have the problem in order to bash realDonaldTrump

Obstructionist wastrels didn’t care during Obama

Yeah it’s slow walking , bs ..... just a move to make the people think they are doing something .. this won’t amount to anything

Instead of finding solutions the Democrats drag their feet doing investigations, hoping they will take back the govt, so they can do what they have always done, which is nothing but put money in their own pockets and keep every day people down.

Finally! What is in those contracts for what they provide for all the money paid? They must be breaking the contracts with these conditions. Stop paying for noncompliance.

What are the House Democrats doing for the Homeless crisis afflicting American Citizens in CA and other places in the country? Not one Politician worth a dime even mentioned them so far but they are running to Border and hobnobbing with foreigners. Even escorting illegals to US.

GarrettHaake Thank you! Now Follow Up! CBP and ICE must have “reorganization or disband! They are taking it upon themselves to make the law Against immigrants. Due Process to Increase asap Unaccompanied children need Sponsors. Demand for more Judges or More children will die!

Has it occurred to this idiot that its not just republicans down there handling things.

Isn't it amazing how black leaders have deserted the black ppl to now represent illegals.

Isn't there cameras in those places? Anyplace with all those people in confined space should be video and audio taped.

I would also put some of the blame on the Democrats as well for not getting off their asses and fix the problem.

Wait I thought it was a manufactured crisis 🤔🤔

They should never have been secret!!!
