A "Stakeholder's" Visit to ICE Detention Facilities (Season 12, Episode 1)
Description
David and Rachel are joined by Robert E. Friedman, founder of the international development nonprofit Prosperity Now, who visited three ICE detention centers in Louisiana in August 2025.
Bob speaks of the numbers of people in detention, the conditions and deprivations, the absence of due process, and of individuals he was able to speak to.
He notes that while videos of arrests are widely available, no one sees what happens after that to the people who are detained.
He speaks of a metastasizing system of concentration camps that are operating in our name, and reminds us to review the language of the Fourteenth Amendment, which guarantees that no person shall be deprived of life, liberty, or property without due process of law.
