💨 Abstract

In rural Louisiana, nearly 7,000 immigrants are detained, awaiting deportation as President Trump's administration seeks to expand the world's largest immigration detention system. The goal is to add capacity for tens of thousands more, with contracts worth up to $45 billion being awarded to private companies like Geo Group and CoreCivic. Critics argue this move isolates detainees, holding court proceedings far from their attorneys and support systems.
