Private prison executives casually discussed the "3,000 arrests per day" quota in earnings calls—despite the Department of Justice previously denying any quota exists. This is fueling immigration raids nationwide while companies rake in record profits.
In Earnings Calls, Private Prison Executives Revel in Profiting Off ICE Arrests
“Our business is perfectly aligned with the demands of this moment,” CoreCivic CEO Damon Hininger said on the call.

Really want y’all to read this one! I call it the little book that could. Launched my career here and in France. Blurbs from legends. Created barrio noir. Got hate for my refusal to put el español in italics. Oh, and it helped me land an agent! Perfect Halloween read.

I've lived in Chicago 40+ years. I've never once felt unsafe here.
Today however, I feel if I breathe wrong in these people's direction that our government has sent to invade us, or if I post the wrong thing online...that it will not end well for me.
