Immigration and detention

Immigration enforcement, deportations and detention are central issues in the 2026 midterms. The companies that run detention centers under federal contracts have PACs, and so do groups on both sides of immigration policy.

  • Given: the group’s own contributions to the campaign

What this page doesn’t show

  • Advocacy nonprofits on both sides, such as NumbersUSA and FWD.us, that have no federal PAC
  • Federal contract dollars paid to detention companies
  • State legislative and sheriff races
  • Money given to party committees and other PACs, which is listed on each group’s own page

Totals cover the 2025-26 cycle, from FEC data as of Oct. 6, 2026. Each group’s total counts its contributions to candidates’ campaigns, the bundled contributions it forwarded for its donors, and its outside spending for and against candidates. Bundled money belongs to the individual donors, so it’s shown separately from the group’s own giving and never counted twice. Outside spending includes $43K from 24- and 48-hour reports filed since the groups’ last regular reports. How this works.
