Mass detention in inhumane facilities is NOT the only option. Alternatives to detention (ATD) programs ensure compliance with immigration court proceedings while still allowing for the conditional release of immigrants.

Also I’m sure one of the presidents cronies is making bank on housing the immigrants. That’s why they want it cost more.
