The current person in charge of ICE's procurement for detention is a GEO Group executive who ran the company's immigration detention portfolio. He was granted an "ethics waiver" from DHS allowing him to hand out contracts to GEO in his new role.

Presumably because the police feel they've done enough kettling, charging, pepper spraying and bashing to last them for a while, the restrictions that preserved public safety can now be lifted. What a relief.
Sydney's post-Bondi attack protest restrictions come to an end
The controversial laws grant police the power to refuse authorisation for public protests for up to 90 days after a terrorist incident, restricting demonstrations in certain areas.

Like most library picketers during the Metro Toronto Library Strike in 1984, CUPE Local 1582 Vice-President Linda Cornwell was seldom without a book. Library workers engaged in this labour action in an attempt to secure paid maternity leave, prorated benefits for part-time staff, and more.
