“There is still a lot of ignorance around how the immigration system works. The truth is that the immigration system is designed exactly as the criminal justice system. Basically, private companies make money off by detaining people of color. The only difference between the criminal justice system and the immigration system is that immigration targets poor immigrants and in it's majority Latinx people.”
