Thanks for broadening the focus beyond just the warehouse acquisitions and conversions to include the commercial turn-key concentration camp profiteers, PSB! ✊

Does anyone have information about efforts to persuade the government to speed up legalization efforts instead of deportations?

This administration is unabashedly trying to rid the country of ALL non-white/non "christians", regardless of immigration status. Fees to maintain work permits or asylum status have skyrocketed. This is a regime 'persuaded' only by $$$$ and rage.

I was hoping maybe there might be people working to shine a light on it, the way the No Kings groups are doing on the illegal extension of executive authority. The corruption of the courts has made it clear they intend to reverse the civil rights response to Jim Crow. The southern states really seem convinced they have permission to return to whatever they consider to be pre-Civil War standing. I'm just an old lady who isn't in touch with as much as younger people are, so I can only hope SOMEONE out there is putting together a plan.

Major red flag: "Mr. Zoley told investors that federal ownership could also provide legal advantages over privately operated detention sites, arguing that the federal government would have broader constitutional protections against state oversight efforts." Our NW Det'n Ctr in Tacoma, WA has been known as a hellhole since before the 1st hunger strike I learned about in 2014. Thank you for alerting us to this.

Different optics, same atrocious policies. Thanks for shining a light on it all.

They want to detain rather than deport because the prison-industrial complex profits from detention, and I suspect with many corrupt kickbacks to boot.

We have got to throw sand in the gears of all these operations and run out the clock on them until a new Congress is seated in January 2027. Just eight months to go.

Horrifying, but we need to know. Excellent work. ICE has gone quiet, but they are still working in the silence.
