ATDs keep people showing up for hearings at ~92% — nearly the same as detention.

Cost per 1% attendance gain:
• ATDs/counsel: ~$7–9M
• Detention: ~$2.3–$5.0B

That’s a 600–700× price gap. Like buying one house vs. buying a whole neighborhood — for the same 1% result.

$66,000 ≈ 13,200 ice cream sundaes 🍨
Or one deportation.

ATDs cost roughly $4–$40/day (≈$1.4k–$6k/yr) with very high appearance rates when paired with counsel/case mgmt. Detention runs ~$150–$165/day (≈$66k per deportation) and buys little marginal appearance improvement.

Private detention costs Michigan $66,000 per person — a “detention premium” that profits corporations, not communities.

Alternatives succeed at ~92% appearance rates for a fraction of the cost ($6,000). Humane, effective, and they keep families together.

Felon-in-chief screams about “illegals,” shreds families, yet two of his three wives—Ivana (Czech) and Melania (Slovenian)—crossed borders and saw their kids crowned citizens. Hypocrisy! WWJD-Who would Jesus Deport? #KeepFamiliesTogether

If a president can ignore the courts and disappear lawful residents, there is no limit to what can come next. President Trump has said he wants to abduct and deport U.S. citizens. If this isn’t stopped now, no one is safe. #DisappearedinAmerica #KeepFamiliesTogether #ProtectDueProcess
