When the first legal challenges to the so-called "Alligator Alcatraz" surfaced, DHS immediately switched to using existing military bases like Camp East Montana at Fort Bliss.

Places where people are held in cruel conditions, literally tortured in 'hot boxes', and where at least one homicide has occurred.

But these military base concentration camps, however inhumane they are, did not provide the capacity that Trump and DHS wanted.

They wanted the ability to house hundreds of thousands of immigrant hostages at a time, all over the country, without due process.

The next move was to start buying up empty warehouses and convert them into 10,000-bed concentration camps.

Then public outcry derailed that plan, leading to the removal of Kristi Noem as DHS secretary – but not until she set a billion dollars on fire with the failed warehouse purchases.

Now, under DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin, they’re pivoting again.

By purchasing privately owned facilities outright, DHS gets a functional detention center with a turnkey operation, newly minted as a federal building.

That gives the federal government extraordinary control over the property and allows them to evade state regulations and congressional oversight.

As an added bonus, the private contractors selling these facilities get to keep operating them under a new contract.

So Trump’s private prison donors get a double windfall – flush with cash from the purchase and a fat new government contract to maintain and operate the facilities indefinitely.

Now David Venturella, acting director of ICE, has sealed another deal was worth nearly a billion dollars. Our analysis expects them to spend another 2-3 billion before years’ end.

The purchase, totally $950 million, gives the government ownership of the Adelanto concentration camp in California, where people have bravely gone on hunger strike to stand up against the violations of their rights.

The purchase also includes the Desert View Annex, which neighbors Adelanto. People held captive at Desert View also participated in a hunger strike earlier this year over the cruel conditions they are subjected to.

That billion dollar payout went to GEO Group, which until last year was the previous employer of Venturella – where he was the head of business development.

GEO Group is holding people hostage in torturous conditions, letting people die from preventable medical emergencies, allowing tuberculosis outbreaks inside their facilities, and ringing in massive profits.

And now they have a former executive running the cash grab from the inside.

Doctors get sued for medical negligence. But for ICE and its contractors, there is no accountability.

It is part of their business model.

Just weeks after ICE shot Wilber Rafael Garcés Pérez in his car in Austin, ICE agents shot a man in his car again in New York City.

This time with the victim's five year old son in the backseat.

Yesterday ICE agents surrounded a man's vehicle and opened fire, unprovoked. Again, the victim was taken to the hospital, only for ICE to rush him away hours later in an unmarked vehicle to an undisclosed location.

(One livestreamer caught the scene as a caravan of ICE vehicles fled the hospital, even striking a bystander on a bicycle.)

There were at least two bullet holes to the rear driver's side window, and one bullet hole to the body of the car behind that window.

Clear indications that some of the gunfire entered through the rear of the vehicle where the 5-year-old child was seated.

That is reckless endangerment of a child.

Mayor Mamdani released a statement saying that the child is physically unharmed.

However, the trauma of being shot at and watching secret police disappear your wounded parent will last a lifetime.

As protesters gathered, ICE agents moved swiftly to canvas the neighborhood, going door to door fishing for “evidence.”

Darializa Avila Chevalier, the Democratic nominee for NY-13, and State Senator Gustavo Rivera, followed the agents and reminded residents that they do not have to speak to the officers.

The facts are still emerging, but here’s what we do know so far:

- The victim, Oscar Belgal, was pulling into a parking space when two ICE agents wearing construction vests and masks approached, one with a gun drawn. At least one of the agents fired seven rounds, hitting Belgal below his ear. He is one of over 20 people who ICE has shot during Trump's second term.

- Belgal's legal representation has not been able to communicate with him, and his medical condition is unknown.

- The agent involved has a history of excessive force and illegal arrests.

- The pattern of firing on a civilian vehicle with unknown occupants demonstrates a continued disregard for human life that lies at the rotting core of this agency.

- It’s a pattern of behavior consistent with people who believe they'll never have to face accountability.

Pedro is an active duty service member in the U.S. Army. His wife, Giovanna, has lived in the U.S. since she was six years old. She has a clean record, and together they are raising four U.S. citizen children.

The Texas couple did everything right, filing a petition that was approved and following the necessary steps to citizenship that the government promises military families.

But when Giovanna went to pick up her military IDs at the base, it was a trap. ICE arrested her and now plans to deport her.

Even though she is the wife of an active duty service member.

Even though they have four U.S. citizen kids.

Even though her record is clean, her petition was approved, and they did everything right.

This is how ICE rewards service members.

By tearing their families apart.

The cruelty isn't a result of negligence. It is by design.

A new concentration camp for unaccompanied children in Louisiana.

37 deaths in ICE custody this fiscal year alone.

Over 160 emergency calls (that we know of).

This is the deadliest year on record for people in ICE custody, and the full story is being kept from us by some of the most respected medical institutions in the country.

The people best positioned to expose all of this are the medical providers working inside these camps.

Doctors, nurses, and medics tend to the people locked in these facilities.

They witness the neglect and the deaths firsthand.

Licensed providers are bound by oath and by law to report ethics violations, and those reports move up the chain to institutions like the American Medical Association, the American Nurses Association, and the Federation of State Medical Boards.

The boards receive the documentation, yet they haven’t released any information to the public and not a single ICE facility has faced any accountability for burying what its own providers reported from inside these camps.

The boards with that power owe the country a full public account of every atrocity and every instance of medical neglect in ICE custody.

That's why we're sending a message to the heads of America's medical associations and state licensing boards, demanding they publicly report on the dangerous and deadly conditions inside ICE concentration camps.

Julián Curo Churata, a husband and father of three, was on his way to work on June 27th after completing a required check-in with ICE when agents suddenly detained him.

For over three months, he was held in ICE captivity without a hearing. When he began to feel sick in detention, his requests for medical care were repeatedly denied by staff at the LaSalle Corrections-operated Richmond Correctional Facility.

The medical negligence of LaSalle and ICE directly led to his passing from a medical emergency on September 28th, 2026.

Curo Churata died in ICE detention even though his attorneys had filed a habeas lawsuit. It had gone ignored.

Doctors get sued for medical negligence. But for ICE and its contractors, there is no accountability.

His wife and three children are now heartbroken from this unthinkable and preventable loss.

To support them during this devastating time, go to:

>> gofund.me/08b6128db to help with funeral expenses and immediate needs

>> gofund.me/09c753e49 to help Luis finish university in his dad's honor

Curo Churata is at least the 37th person to die in ICE captivity this fiscal year -- not including those who ICE purposefully released right before their death to avoid accountability.
