Bank of America will end its association with companies that provide prisoner and immigrant detention services at both the state and federal levels. The move comes amid growing public concern about the nation's border policies.
A spokesperson said Wednesday that Bank of America (BAC) has discussed the issue with its clients that provide those services. While the bank appreciates "steps they have taken to properly execute their contractual and humanitarian responsibilities," it ultimately decided to "exit the relationships."
"Lacking further legal and policy clarity, and in recognition of the concerns of our employees and stakeholders in the communities we serve, it is our intention to exit these relationships," the spokesperson said.
The Miami Herald previously reported that Bank of America was a financier of Caliburn which the newspaper said runs a facility called Homestead under a US government contract. The Herald said the bank provided a $380 million loan to the company and a $75 million credit line. The paper indicated Homestead is not a prison, but "protesters say it functions as one. The minors held inside are not allowed to leave."

Change its name to “Bank of Death to America”
At one time, Discover Card offered banking services.
I opened up an account. A few years later, I withdrew
everything but they left the account open and credited
me with a few cents of interest that had accumulated
when I cashed out.
For the next year, I got monthly statements in the mail
showing my balance of a few cents. The monthly statements
took thirty cents in postage, more than my balance.
Someone eventually woke up and stopped the silliness.
Didnt these people get bailout money??
“The left needs to start taking casualties, as well.”
Absolutely right.
So sick of them doing and saying what they want when they want with impunity. And we wonder why we keep losing ground every day.
So companies can freeze out detention support industries, gun industries and Israel supporters and it’s okay. Just try declining to bake a trans coming-out or a gay wedding cake.
I know, I’ve seen plenty of people defend these out of control corporations like Google and Amazon for some time now. I wonder if they still insist such.
Europe already does this, dissidents don’t have access to bank accounts anymore. They literally blacklist people from the financial sector.
“Bank of America received $20 billion in the federal bailout from the U.S. government through the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) on January 16, 2009, and a guarantee of $118 billion in potential losses at the company. This was in addition to the $25 billion given to them in the fall of 2008 through TARP.”

The dirty left uses words to trick people..
Where are the detention centers? What do they look like? Who is in the detention centers? Why are they their?
Ya know, mueller and his team fed information/lies to the media.. the media would print it .. and mueller’s team would use the articles, saying the news article was their source..
That information was FROM them and after it was bootlegged, they used their own lies to get what they wanted..
Is this article something they were fed and reporting it instead of investigating.. going to see first hand .. before writing such an article...
Create your own bank!

So can BofA decide not to do business with anyone else? You know, like blacks, Mexicans, Irish, Italians, and etc?
Personally, I keep HOPING that these banks that are “PC” will all GO BROKE. = There will be plenty of other banking houses that can take up the business that the LIBs don’t want.
NO they are NOT “Too big to fail”.

Keep that up and B of A will soon go out of business. And that’s a good thing.
Snort, that’ll last as long as the Hollyweird ban on anti-abortion states. Money will always win out.
So glad I do not bank with BOA.
Saves me the trouble of leaving them.
Nope, don’t use the big guys at all. My personal and business accounts are ALL at a small, local bank that still believes in community banking. Unfortunately, banks like that are getting harder and harder to find.
BOA is the worst bank I ever dealt with, absolutely useless. Their support for illegals go back to Bill Clinton’s reign. They gave out credit cards to illegals even back then.
They certainly don’t give a $hit about real Americans in this country and never have for at least 25 years now.
Can someone please explain to me WHY they are put into detention centers and not turned away at the border? They are claiming asylum? Fine, wait in Mexico, wait in Honduras. I don’t get this crap at all. If someone is trying to break into your house you don’t put them up in one of your rooms while you try to decide if you want them to stay.
Curse them, and take your business elsewhere. Those companies are in compliance with Federal and State guidelines while performing a service on behalf of those governments.
Yeah, and orphans and unwed mothers from Catholic facilities all give those places high marks. < /sarcasm>
