Most ICE detainees have no criminal history: AFP analysis

(AP Photo/Damian Dovarganes) The number of migrants detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) reached record numbers in June and a vast majority do not have criminal records, according to AFP analysis of official data. Private prison corporations, running the United States' already-huge and expanding detention system, are set to benefit from the Trump administration's unprecedented deportation drive, data shows. A record 60,254 people were held in ICE facilities last month, up from 40,500 in January before Trump took office. Of those, 71 percent have no criminal record compared to 54 percent last year, ICE data from the end of the 2024 fiscal year shows. Expanding detention capacity President Donald Trump was elected last year on a promise to lead the largest migrant deportation program in US history. His administration has been aggressively targeting the country's estimated 11 million undocumented migrants. Lawmakers also delivered a big win for the president this month by voting to give ICE its biggest budget to date, with $45 billion set to go towards constructing immigration facilities. Data from June shows the detention system is already growing: 200 facilities held ICE detainees in June compared to 107 in January. The Trump administration aims to increase the number of beds available for detainees to 100,000 by the end of the year, more than doubling the capacity available in 2024. This rapid expansion is being carried out by building new centers and repurposing existing facilities. A new migrant camp dubbed 'Alligator Alcatraz' opened on July 1 and is built on a disused airfield surrounded by alligator-filled swamps deep in the Florida Everglades. Trump has also said he would like to turn the Guantanamo Bay navy station in Cuba into a 30,000-bed facility. This has yet to happen, though. Official data shows a daily average of 22 people were held in the station's two existing detention centers in June. Various non-profits have raised concerns about the swift growth and the conditions that people are being detained in. Human Rights Watch published a report on Monday describing abusive treatment at three facilities in Florida, where migrants are reportedly sleeping on floors and women are held in cells with exposed toilets visible to men in nearby rooms. Soft-sided facilities, which are quick-to-build tent structures increasingly used by ICE, are also raising alarm bells. Highly profitable The private companies running large parts of the detention system are set to profit from the expansion. More than four out of every five detainees were held at one of the United States' 62 privately-operated facilities as of June 2025, according to AFP analysis of the ICE data. These facilities are run by a handful of firms: the GEO Group and CoreCivic, both publicly traded companies, are the biggest operators and respectively manage 25 and 17 centers, official data shows. The GEO Group – which announced a $70 million investment in December 2024 to grow its detention capabilities – has signed two new contracts with ICE since January and significantly expanded a third. The firm hopes to earn an additional $153 million annually from these new deals alone, according to company reports. A second Trump term has been good news for the private prison firms' bottom line. The GEO Group and CoreCivic's stock prices increased by 75 and 69 percent each in the days following the Republican's reelection, and both have remained at 5-year highs since. The two leading private prison firms and some of their top executives also made significant contributions to Republicans and the Trump campaign last year, according to data from nonprofit OpenSecrets. The GEO Group donated over $3.6 million to Republicans in 2024, including $1 million to a Trump PAC. The corporation also has close ties with the administration: Pam Bondi, the US Attorney General, was a GEO Group lobbyist as recently as 2019. CoreCivic donated $784,974 in 2024, mostly to Republicans. The group's president Damon Hininger also made individual contributions to the Trump campaign, as did other executives, OpenSecrets Data shows.

After Coldplay KissCam scandal, Astronomer hires Gwyneth Paltrow as ‘very temporary' spokesperson
Astronomer – the company whose CEO resigned after being caught on a KissCam at a Coldplay rock concert embracing a woman who was not his wife – is trying to move on from the drama with someone who knows the band pretty well. Actress Gwyneth Paltrow, who was married to Coldplay's frontman Chris Martin for 13 years, announced Friday on X that she has been hired by Astronomer as a spokesperson. Astronomer, a tech company based in New York, found itself in an uncomfortable spotlight when two of its executives were caught on camera in an intimate embrace at a Coldplay concert – a moment that was then flashed on a giant screen in the stadium. CEO Andy Byron and human resource executive Kristin Cabot were caught by surprise when Martin asked the cameras to scan the crowd during a concert earlier this month. 'Either they're having an affair or they're just very shy,' Martin joked when the couple appeared on screen and quickly tried to hide their faces. The viral Coldplay kiss-cam video shows digital sleuthing can go too far After viral Coldplay kiss-cam video, advice for workers on when private relationships become your employer's concern In a short video, the 'Shakespeare in Love' and 'Ironman' star said she had been hired as a 'very temporary' spokesperson for Astronomer. 'Astronomer has gotten a lot of questions over the last few days and they wanted me to answer the most common ones,' Paltrow said, smiling and deftly avoiding mention of the KissCam fuss. 'We've been thrilled that so many people have a newfound interest in data workflow automation,' she said. 'We will now be returning to what we do best – delivering game-changing results for our customers.' When footage from the KissCam first spread online, it wasn't immediately clear who the couple were. Soon after the company identified the pair, and Byron resigned followed by Cabot. The video clip resulted in a steady stream of memes, parody videos and screenshots of the pair's shocked faces filling social media feeds. Online streams of Coldplay's songs jumped 20% in the days after the video went viral, according to Luminate, an industry data and analytics company.

Bipartisan House committee launches new push for transparency in Epstein case
A key House committee is looking into the investigation of the late Jeffrey Epstein for sex trafficking crimes, working to subpoena President Donald Trump's Department of Justice for files in the case as well as hold a deposition of Epstein's former girlfriend, Ghislaine Maxwell. Article content The Republican-led House Oversight and Government Reform Committee acted just before House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., sent lawmakers home early for a month-long break from Washington. The committee's moves are evidence of the mounting pressure for disclosure in a case that Trump has unsuccessfully urged his supporters to move past. But they were also just the start of what can be a drawn-out process. Article content Article content Here's what could happen next in the House inquiry as lawmakers seek answers in a case that has sparked rampant speculation since Epstein's death in 2019 and more recently caused many in the Trump administration to renege on promises for a complete accounting. Article content Article content The subcommittee agreed to redact the names and personal information of any victims, but besides that, their demand for information is quite broad, encompassing 'un-redacted Epstein files.' As the parameters of the subpoena are drafted, Democrats are demanding that it be fulfilled within 30 days from when it is served to Attorney General Pam Bondi. They have also proposed a list of document demands, including the prosecutorial decisions surrounding Epstein, documents related to his death, and communication from any president or executive official regarding the matter. Article content Article content Ultimately, Republicans who control the committee will have more power over the scope of the subpoena, but the fact that it was approved with a strong bipartisan vote gives it some heft. Article content Article content The committee chairman, Rep. James Comer, R-Ky., said he told the speaker that 'Republicans on the Oversight Committee were going to move to be more aggressive in trying to get transparency with the Epstein files. So, we did that, and I think that's what the American people want.' Article content Comer has said that he is hoping that staff from the committee can interview Maxwell under oath on Aug. 11 at or near the federal prison in Florida where she is serving a lengthy sentence for child sex trafficking. Article content In a congressional deposition, the subject typically has an attorney present to help them answer — or not answer — questions while maintaining their civil rights. Subjects also have the ability to decline to answer questions if it could be used against them in a criminal case, though in this instance that might not matter because Maxwell has already been convicted of many of the things she will likely be asked about.
