4
00:03:46.460 --> 00:03:49.580
It's not unusual for people to pay to Libre
5
00:03:49.580 --> 00:03:51.120
money they will never see again
6
00:03:51.120 --> 00:03:53.260
in an amount greater than their bond amount.
7
00:03:53.260 --> 00:03:55.960 line:15%
They literally find people in detention
8
00:03:55.960 --> 00:03:58.260 line:15%
who are desperate to get out of detention,
9
00:03:58.260 --> 00:03:59.940 line:15%
to rejoin with their families.
10
00:03:59.940 --> 00:04:02.440
They'll agree to anything and they do.
11
00:04:02.440 --> 00:04:04.440
Thousands of people have agreed to this.
12
00:04:06.780 --> 00:04:09.120
A lot of people picked up in immigration detention
13
00:04:09.120 --> 00:04:10.810
don't speak English, they're presented
14
00:04:10.810 --> 00:04:12.770
with an English language contract,
15
00:04:12.770 --> 00:04:16.040
the portions that are Spanish are not translated very well.
16
00:04:16.040 --> 00:04:17.980
You can actually plug the English version
17
00:04:17.980 --> 00:04:20.350
into Google Translate and it pops out the portions
18
00:04:20.350 --> 00:04:22.510
that they want the people to understand, right?
19
00:04:22.510 --> 00:04:24.810
The parts about paying them money every month.
20
00:04:26.510 --> 00:04:28.730
These people are paying the 20% down
21
00:04:28.730 --> 00:04:33.560
and the $420 per month that they never see again.
22
00:04:33.560 --> 00:04:35.393
They'll never see this money again.
23
00:04:37.980 --> 00:04:40.450
We have had clients who have told us that
24
00:04:40.450 --> 00:04:43.340
Libre employees have threatened to have them rearrested
25
00:04:43.340 --> 00:04:46.440
if they don't make their monthly payment.
26
00:04:46.440 --> 00:04:48.410
It means that people are being coerced
27
00:04:48.410 --> 00:04:51.330
into paying money to a private company
28
00:04:51.330 --> 00:04:52.883
under threat of arrest.

[speaking foreign language]
30
00:05:24.570 --> 00:05:27.150
I think one of the reasons that Libre
31
00:05:27.150 --> 00:05:29.940
has sustained a lot of public scrutiny
32
00:05:29.940 --> 00:05:33.120
but not a lot of regulation and enforcement
33
00:05:33.120 --> 00:05:36.480
is that they have successfully ducked
34
00:05:36.480 --> 00:05:39.820
all regulation and oversight thus far.
35
00:05:39.820 --> 00:05:41.780 line:15%
They're not a registered bail bonds company,
36
00:05:41.780 --> 00:05:43.150 line:15%
they don't purport to be.
37
00:05:43.150 --> 00:05:44.480 line:15%
They're not regulated by the
38
00:05:44.480 --> 00:05:46.740
financial services arm of the state,
39
00:05:46.740 --> 00:05:49.780
they're not regulated as an insurance company of the state.
40
00:05:49.780 --> 00:05:51.740
I think it's for this reason that, for instance,
41
00:05:51.740 --> 00:05:53.950
the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau
42
00:05:53.950 --> 00:05:57.640
started looking into them several months ago.

Happy holidays from our Nexus family to yours.
44
00:05:59.880 --> 00:06:01.150
Merry Christmas, guys.
45
00:06:01.150 --> 00:06:03.400
Well, we've had quite a day giving away shopping sprees
46
00:06:03.400 --> 00:06:05.560
and we get to give away a brand new home.
47
00:06:05.560 --> 00:06:06.480
It's been amazing.
It's exciting.
48
00:06:06.480 --> 00:06:08.250
Oh my gosh, it's incredible.
Absolutely.
49
00:06:08.250 --> 00:06:11.300
So, today, I was asked a lot what it is that we do.
50
00:06:11.300 --> 00:06:12.850
What is that Nexus does?
Yeah, what's Nexus?
51
00:06:12.850 --> 00:06:13.790
I heard that, too.
52
00:06:13.790 --> 00:06:14.850
Let's talk about it a little bit.
53
00:06:14.850 --> 00:06:16.890
So, Nexus works with folks in detention,
54
00:06:16.890 --> 00:06:18.410
folks that are in immigration detention,
55
00:06:18.410 --> 00:06:20.340
perhaps seeking asylum in this country,
56
00:06:20.340 --> 00:06:22.220
that are locked up, we help those folks
57
00:06:22.220 --> 00:06:24.740
get out of detention and come home to be with their families
58
00:06:24.740 --> 00:06:26.910
and the cool thing is we bring people out of the shadows.
59
00:06:26.910 --> 00:06:29.320
Everybody's better off when people are out of the shadows
60
00:06:29.320 --> 00:06:31.238
and involved in their communities.

00:09:33.580 --> 00:09:36.750
has been wearing the ankle monitor.
71
00:09:36.750 --> 00:09:37.583
Gerson.
72
00:09:39.490 --> 00:09:42.078
We are going to cut it today.

[clapping]

and we do not know why he is still wearing
76
00:09:51.570 --> 00:09:53.163
this ankle monitor.
77
00:09:54.020 --> 00:09:56.200
So we are going to do the cutting.
78
00:09:56.200 --> 00:09:58.650
All right, I don't know, if this is going to do the cutting,
79
00:09:58.650 --> 00:10:00.400
but we are going to do the cutting.
