Are you horrified by ICE?
Join South County Rising on Saturday, January 24th, 2026 from 10:30 -11:30am as we stand out at Citizens Bank branch at 112 Franklin St in Westerly, RI to demand that they stop financing ICE prisons.
Notorious private prison companies The GEO Group and CoreCivic are being called on to be part of an unprecedented expansion in capacity as part of the Trump administration’s mass detention, deportation, and surveillance policies.
Citizens Bank says it’s strengthening communities, but has continued financing CoreCivic and GEO Group as other lenders have cut ties. Private prisons and the mass detention, deportation, and surveillance of immigrants don’t strengthen our communities; they hurt our neighbors. Citizens must stop financing CoreCivic and GEO Group.
