Economic Power – Citizens Bank finances ICE Where we choose to spend our money and time is one of our greatest collective strengths. Every purchase we make, and every time we just show up to help, we demonstrate our values and progressive ideals for human rights, labor rights, social justice, and environmental protection.
Citizens Bank continues to be a major lender – the only major lender – to the country’s two largest private prison companies, CoreCivic and The GEO Group, refurbishing warehouses & running dozens of ICE immigration detention centers across the country. Through loans, bond underwriting and credit lines, the bank has played a key role in helping CoreCivic and The GEO Group access more than $2.5 billion in financing over the past dozen years, some of it approved this year. Citizens says it is dedicated to fostering strong communities and social responsibility, but its long-standing support to prison companies and ICE detention centers is exactly the opposite. We need to hold the bank accountable. More Information

It is imperative that the House does not move forward with the flawed House Agriculture Committee Farm Bill that does not reverse any of these crushing SNAP cuts and program changes.
