We aren’t the country we thought we were. This won’t be addressed until some honest, courageous, intelligent Congressional representatives and senators are placed into office in the majority. We are hostages to the extreme right wing of the GOP.

And this camps are for everybody, and we should know it.. They call "Terrorist" to american citizens and kill them.

Excellent reporting as usual, thank you Pablo.

I think its also important to contextualize migrant detention, and understand that its part of a much larger prison and slavery system in America. As the 13th Amendment says, "Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for a crime whereby the party shall be duly convicted, shall be permitted in the United States or its territories."

So they removed the legality of peoples' residence - more than 1.5 million in 2025 - and labeled all of them "criminals," making people think that crossing a border while not being white is a crime.

I wrote this article in December of 2024, when Trump was elected, "Trump Stands for Slavery. We Need to Stand for Abolition."

I can't think of anything that would be more appropriate than ending slavery on America's 250th anniversary.

Some warehouse owners are backing out of deals with ICE | AP News

More than 20 towns with large warehouses have become stealth targets for Immigration and Customs Enforcement's $45 billion expansion of detention centers. Some communities complain that ICE isn't telling them anything until after it has purchased space for thousands of detainees. In some cases, warehouse owners are refusing to sell.

Turns out it's actually Chris LaCivita, Jr. lobbying for GEO. He graduated from Virginia Tech in '22, and was working as a digital marketing specialist for Safari Club until Checkmate hired him in December '24. Now he's a lobbyist and public affairs director.

Meritocracy, y'all.
