What happens after CDC is the target of a terror attack inspired by RFK Jr?
CDC staff are receiving calls from assholes who play audio of gun shots.
We don’t know who these people are. But we know who inspires this behavior.

The Everglades immigrant detention ctr is a modern-day concentration camp: cages, no sunlight, poor hygiene, inadequate care.
It’s also a public health disaster in the making, endangering detainees, staff, and nearby communities.

Paltry slap on the wrist for GEO Group, given that their 2nd Quarter revenue was $636.2 Million.
EVERY STATE with a GEO Group (or CoreCivic) facility should sue for the same reason (if they haven't already).
GEO Group = ICE's largest contractor.
