As opposed to the Felon in the Whitehouse, most of these people have not been convicted of a felony, but are only being "temporarily" detained for suspicion of misdemeanor civil infractions.

I want Democrats in office that put an end to private prison systems. Specifically, the Geo Group.
NO MORE PRIVATE PRISONS. No more incentives to corporations to profit from incarcerating people.
