Navy contract allows immigration agency to bypass normal bidding and hire one of its largest detention operators directly as it plans to add 92,000 beds by November
Your work on this is truly invaluable. Thank you for helping us stay informed. I live about 40 minutes from the Williamsport site and attended the protests at the BOCC meetings. Absolutely disgusted by how this was handled by those so called leaders who refused to allow any public comment.
Haven't looked at this round of contractors, but many of the companies involved in supporting this effort (as well as the Florida-run facilities) come from the "disaster relief" sector—and have major contracts with blue cities, counties, and states. There are definitely some great opportunities for organizing around these contracts.
The NAVY? The NAVY my Dad served for 30 years? The NAVY he joined in WWII at the age of 17 to fight FASCISTS? That Navy is now caving to a cruel, inhumane madman who is out to destroy life as we know it? As they and their families know it, too? SHAME on those who expedited this immoral plan.
Thank you … this is horrible … warehouses and property will be sold to these groups without knowing what these bldgs/property will be set aside for. Communities/local Gov’t will certainly need to stop permits to state they cannot accommodate the sewer/water supply required.
I wish you guys had a website along with/instead of substack. It just would be easier to access and people NEED TO KNOW all the invaluable information you’re gathering. I heard about you on the Amicus podcast. Thank you for all the work you’re doing. We need to get this information out there to everyone!!
Moreover, they'll need to keep all these prisons full in order to turn a profit. Just the latest example of capitalism run amok! And OUR tax dollars are going to pay for this! I hope we're not all going to tolerate this sort of hateful, xenophobic/racist crap like a bunch of sheep! If so, we deserve what we have coming to us. Elections are coming! Protests are coming! Let's all get out there and make our voices heard! This crap must stop!
And please share this information with other like-minded friends. We need a landslide at the election boxes, nothing less!
I can volunteer my time to research. I am in a red state and know it’s been talked about here. People are already upset about data centers and this just adds to it.

Full tilt harassment and public pressure . this makes me sick. Letter writing to all those companies listed?

Believe me, as a recent Air Force retiree, I empathize.
I’m sharing this information too. RESIST/PROTEST

Thanks for this information. I hope enough people awaken to this reality to stop it from fully playing out.

The time to act is now. Find and join a nearby chapter of a group such as Indivisible https://indivisible.org/ and become a pro-democracy activist. Work toward bringing the 3.5% rule within our reach: https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20190513-it-only-takes-35-of-people-to-change-the-world . It may be our best/last hope of setting things right.
