Stephen Miller's Financial Ties to ICE Detention Profiteers

Escalation of ICE Detentions

• 📈 As of July 3rd, 2025, there are at least 56,000 immigrants in ICE detention, a 42% increase since January.
• 🎯 Despite claims of targeting "the worst of the worst," data shows 71.7% of ICE detainees have never been convicted of a crime.
• ⚠️ Less than 1.6% of detainees had convictions for sexual assault or homicide, contradicting official rhetoric.

Financial Windfalls from Detention

• 💰 Many Trump administration members have direct stock options or investments in for-profit companies benefiting from ICE enforcement.
• 💸 The "Big Beautiful Bill" allocates $45 billion for ICE detention space, a 265% increase and larger than the entire federal prison system's budget.
• 📈 For-profit detention companies like The GEO Group and CoreCivic have seen significant stock surges since Trump's election, with CEOs reporting unprecedented demand.

Deaths and Neglect in Custody

• 💔 Isidro Pérez, a 75-year-old Cuban immigrant, died in ICE detention on June 26th, highlighting overcrowding and poor conditions.
• ⚠️ Pérez's death was the 12th in ICE custody that fiscal year, a threefold increase from the previous year.
• 🩺 A 2024 report by the ACLU and others found that most deaths in ICE custody were preventable with adequate medical care.

Stephen Miller's Profitable Connections

• 🔍 Financial disclosure forms reveal Stephen Miller owns between $101,000 and $250,000 in shares of Palantir, a tech company used by ICE.
• 🎯 Miller and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem demanded immigration agents arrest 3000 people per day, triple the earlier rate, leading to arbitrary quotas.
• 💸 This push for quotas necessitates the detention of individuals with no criminal history, directly benefiting administration members who profit from these detentions and deaths.
