Detaining immigrants is big business

Like other private prison companies, it made large donations to President Trump’s campaign and inaugural.

See, this is why I take claims that Trump is mainly funded by small individual donations as a dubious claim that needs double-checked.

Trump has been even more prolific with grassroots donations as he gears up for his re-election campaign. Of the nearly $86 million Trump has raised in individual contributions to his campaign and joint fundraising account with the Republican Party since he took office, $62 million, or 72 percent, has come from small-dollar donations.
