Citizens Bank has announced it will exit its lending agreements with CoreCivic and GEO Group. This is an incredible win for everyone who refused to let a major bank finance the human suffering caused by ICE detention!

Community resistance matters ✊

(1/2) Huge congratulations to Citizens Bank for pulling its investments from CoreCivic and GEO Group, the two largest private prison operators in the US, which also run some of the largest immigration detention centers.

This is the kind of change we can accomplish together! Public pressure works.

As ICE activity ramps back up, networks of everyday folks—teachers, parents, clergy, store owners, and retirees—are still fighting it.

Our latest feature explains how these people inherited an old playbook, adapted it to a new machinery of enforcement, and, at times, rebuilt their lives around it.

I've been proud to stand with @de-icecitizensbank.org and the movement that made this happen.

This is a huge victory, but the fight continues. MA is the only blue state that hasn’t cancelled its voluntary collaboration agreement with ICE. I'm running to change the corrupt system that allows this.

Citizens Bank said it's ending its credit facilities with CoreCivic and GEO Group, but hasn't provided a timeline for its exit or committed not to lend to the companies in the future.

"Where we choose to do business is an expression of our community’s values.” 👏👏👏

"Months of pressure, millions pulled, then Citizens suddenly walks. Call it what you want. It worked. They didn’t outspend anyone—they out-organized them. [...] That’s the one thing the regime can’t buy its way out of: people who won’t quit."

Now that DHS owns two detention camps formerly belonging to private prison profiteer CoreCivic, “finding out what’s going on inside of them is likely to become harder.”
