This week, I wanted to focus on the relationship between commonplace companies and the unethical detainment of non-citizens in the United States. I was made aware of these companies complicity — their financial ties to GEO Group and CoreCivic — by a flier distributed by New Sanctuary Coalition, a community fighting for basic human rights for all immigrants. I’ve attached a copy of their flier on who profits from internment/deportation below:
My JPGs follow:
Bank of America, financier of CoreCivic (and GEO Group), which profits off the detention of non-citizens.
AT&T also finances CoreCivic and GEO Group and, by extension, the internment of non-citizens.
JP Morgan Chase….same deal
Wells Fargo, too.
Notoriously, GEO Group and CoreCivic’s stocks shot up upon Trump’s election. Here are their stocks increasing (from election — 2017) atop tower.
