Why is their goal to arrest 5000 people?
The mods at /neworleans didn't like this post, but im just trying to be informative. I was wondering where they estimated that they would make 5000 arrests when ICE gets here. Then i fell down this rabbit hole visiting https://www.ice.gov/detain/detention-management#stats
Here is a list of the 11 detention sites that are scheduled to profit from the arrests they make. They have agreements with each location where they promise a minimum number of arrests to house at their facility for $165/day. When you add up all the guaranteed minimums that are being promised, take a look at that total. Even if that's totally coincidence, it doesn't matter, their goal is still 5000 and if they were to hit that goal, the US taxpayers would be paying the facilities $780,780 PER DAY, Just for Louisiana. That's $23 million each month. So all of these piqued my interest and I googled to see how many were arrested in Charlotte. The article said that 38 were arrested. I found that to be oddly low since they are targeting 5000 from here. So i pulled up the facility stats to see what they were promised. This cracks me up.
