## Resource

In an explosive new release, pensions CalPERS, CalSTRS, and New York State Common and Teachers Funds and banks Wells Fargo, JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America and Citi have heavily invested in and financed companies that have profited from contracts with Immigration Customs Enforcement (ICE) and enabled the deportation crisis and the surveillance, violence and repression of U.S. citizens resisting the Trump administration. These financial institutions have put over $80 billion into these companies. The corporate ICE contracrtors include Palantir, CoreCivic, Geo Group, General Dynamics, CACI, L3Harris and AT&T. In our latest, we talk with Richard Brooks about new data that Stand.Earth has released about financial players funding ICE contractors like Palantir, Geo Group, CoreCivic and others.
