Kamala Harris Faces Backlash Over 2019 Pledge to Close Immigration Detention Centers

Resurfaced video reignites debate as Harris campaigns on stricter border policies

Harris promised in 2019 to close all private immigration detention centers 'on day one'.
Critics argue her past stance conflicts with her current tough-on-border rhetoric.
Approximately 37,000 migrants are currently held in U.S. detention facilities, many in private centers.
Republicans highlight Harris’s previous comments to question her border policy consistency.
Harris's campaign has not clarified if her position on detention centers has changed.
