Professor of Sociology Eric Bonds was featured in a Cardinal News article titled “New Tool Offers Transparency on Local Jails’ Cooperation With ICE and Creates New Opportunities for Public Engagement.” The article highlights the Deportation Data Project, which provides information about local and regional jails’ cooperation with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Bonds discusses how data from the project shows that jails across Virginia regularly hold individuals on behalf of ICE, including people who are not facing criminal charges.

In fact, at least one data center requires these elected officials to report to them any “right to know” requests they receive. Professor Eric Bonds in the Sociology Department at the University of Mary Washington says this is not how a democratic government should work.
