Support of Request for a Formal Review into the Implementation of Executive Order 14006 and Immigration & Customs Enforcement Acquisition of Closed Facilities
We the undersigned organizations write in support of a formal review of the implementation of President Biden’s Executive Order 14006 phasing out the use of private prisons by the Department of Justice (DOJ).
