How do you know you are absolutely going to hell? Despite skyrocketing revenue, you're the guy on the for-profit prison shareholder call complaining they STILL haven't caged enough brown people for maximum $$$$$
🚨 For-profit prison company:

“CoreCivic’s revenue from contracts with ICE skyrocketed in 2025, but some participants on today’s quarterly earnings call expressed concerns that ICE had not detained as many immigrants as investors hoped.”

This is something the Nazis used to do to Jewish children in the camps. It happened to a man I knew when he was a child in Auschwitz. The camp guards thought it was funny as hell.
On Thanksgiving, the immigrant children held at the Dilley detention center gathered in the gym for what they thought was a holiday feast.

The kids salivated over a spread of turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, a family told me.

But the food wasn’t for detainees — it was for the staff.

I interviewed a family of Russian asylum seekers who’ve been held more than four months at the Dilley detention center in Texas.

As we spoke over Zoom this week, their daughter Kamilla was one day shy of turning 12. I asked her what she wanted for her birthday.

She replied: “To get out of here.”

Incredibly powerful opinion chronicling the awfulness in Whipple and the ways it interfered with the right to counsel.

One key part of the ruling (that ICE will likely appeal ASAP); Judge Brasel bars ICE from transferring anyone out of Minnesota within 72 hours of arrest.

The Trump admin has given illegal orders,
which directly contravene the Constitution, that purport to allow this lawless terroristic behavior. The rampant use of threats, profanity & racial slurs demonstrates a fundamental disregard for our shared humanity & for unalienable human rights.

There is no imaginable scenario where a genuine, professional, Constitutional law enforcement operation would recklessly attack hundreds of innocent people in hopes of apprehending a handful of people
