Big Beautiful Bill: How Private Equity is Profiting from Immigrant Detention
H.R. 1, the so-called One Big Beautiful Bill Act, expands the Deportation Industrial Complex, allocating more than 170 billion dollars over four years for border and interior enforcement, with the explicit goal of deporting 1 million immigrants every single year. Behind those staggering numbers lies another story: who profits. Among the biggest winners are private equity firms and the billionaire class they represent. In this episode of the Art of Citizenry Podcast, Manpreet Kaur Kalra is joined by Azani Creeks, Senior Researcher at the Private Equity Stakeholder Project (PESP) to unpack how this bill opens the floodgates for private equity firms to profit from detention, deportation, surveillance, and border militarization as engines of profit for billionaires.
