The No Homeless Detention Centers Act would prevent the federal government from funding programs that force people experiencing homelessness into shelters, camps or other facilities against their will. It would also ban forced labor in these types of facilities. Learn more.

Thank you @frost.house.gov for introducing this bill! The Trump administration’s efforts to criminalize and detain people without homes is a clear attempt to vilify homeless people and enrich private prison companies and tech surveillance organizations, just like with our immigrant communities.

Today, we received notice of another death in ICE detention. We also learned that a 20-year-old Haitian immigrant, Pierre Damas Bel, took his own life in Springfield, Ohio, after the Trump Administration ended TPS for Haitians and fitted him with an ankle monitor.

The human toll and cost to all Americans continues to be shocking. Third country deportation and detention expansion are the same system, funded by the unprecedented $240 billion Congress handed to DHS to bolster Trump’s mass detention and deportation agenda.

Third country deportation is a cruel tactic designed to circumvent protections for people who cannot be deported their home country because they are at risk of torture or even death or are unable to obtain the necessary documentation to travel. These cruel policies do not make our communities safer.

Third-country deportations serve to expel people out of sight and out of mind, but the reality is that often they are imprisoned in remote or abusive prisons where their freedom of movement is extremely limited. To date, the admin has sent more than 23,000 people to 26 countries.

The Trump regime is attempting to normalize detaining people in other countries through third-country deportations as a new & model of incarceration and deportation. This violence is an extension of the admin’s mass detention & deportation agenda, where ICE subjects people to horrific abuse daily.

54 people have died in ICE custody under the current Trump admin. The alarming death toll underscores that ICE’s mass detention & deportation system is plagued by poor conditions, a lack of accountability & a culture of violence and secrecy that results in system-wide abuses, including death.

We are devastated and outraged to hear about Mr. Priciliano Trejo's death. He deserved to be with his loved ones while fighting for his life with leukemia. He deserved proper medical attention & specialist care, not to be caged in a deadly ICE detention center plagued with abuse and medical neglect.
