Trump’s rush to detain immigrants has led to inadequate and overcrowded facilities and  out-of-state transfers. Some immigrants have been held for days in unsanitary conditions at San Francisco International Airport. Meanwhile, Gilroy residents have been fighting a proposed field office for Immigration and Customs Enforcement. But those are just blips in the broader landscape of immigration detention. As the Trump administration plans to pour up to $45 billion in the next few years into locking up immigrants, we’ll dive into the immigration detention ecosystem in the Bay Area and nationwide. Guests: Tyche Hendricks, senior editor covering immigration, KQED Doug MacMillan, Reporter covering corporate accountability, The Washington Post Sara DiNatale, reporter covering politics and the impacts of the Trump administration’s policies on the Bay Area and California, San Francisco Chronicle Learn more about your ad choices.
