GEO Group strikes again.
“Davis said that many of the detainees involved in the incident were from Cuba and were frustrated at the lack of communication over their immigration cases.”
Since I’ve been talking about companies and industries that have opposed comprehensive and humane immigration reform over the years here’s a 2014 interview about GEO Group and CCA, now rebranded as CoreCivic. colorlines.com/articles/did-p…

Retaliatory raids have been going on for many years. But agriculture profits handsomely from this model — it makes owners very rich. It’s no accident we haven’t had comprehensive immigration reform in many years. How many industries make billions from undocumented labor?
To be undocumented in the United States is to live on a razors edge. You have little protection or legal recourse if you are harassed or hurt. But business owners don’t care. You’re replaceable, right? And if they start getting restive (read: expensive) this is what happens.
But that is once again why I reported so long on border and immigration issues from a humanitarian perspective before disinfo became too much of a problem to ignore. Workers are following market forces to grave human rights violations. They simply want to work and eat.

"I really think we need to get away from using the term lone wolves, because while they are single actors, they are part of a larger ecosystem. I just think it’s going to get worse before it gets better. "

"The discovery of Anderson’s racist collection has cast new light on a nearly decade-old fatal shooting. Anderson was pursuing 23-year-old Julius Johnson during a traffic stop on Sept. 23, 2009....

"According to the findings of an investigation from the county’s prosecutor, Johnson beat Anderson in the head, which caused the police officer, who said he feared for his life, to shoot and kill the black man. Johnson’s sister, Tunisia Phillips, initially told investigators...
"...that she heard her brother beg for his life before Anderson shot him, according to WOOD.

The prosecutor later cleared Anderson of wrongdoing and eventually charged Phillips with lying to police, prompting protests from Johnson’s family and the NAACP, according to MLive."

.@peaceforchange During our conversations, I have always tried to trust you instead of believing what you say to others about us. I took your word and even ignored what others from your institution were conspiring while you were engaging.
And now you accuse us of blasphemy again. Not that I did not expect this or I had any better expectation but that is not what a govt employee in power position should do . Blasphemy is a dangerous weapon. It is a known weapon of state.
The thing is that you are declaring us enemies and telling that you have no mercy for us. The blasphemy politics has resulted in murder of @mashalkhan20 . It was used against ex PM Nawaz Shareef and his daughter @MaryamNSharif . It was used against Jang/Geo group.

Alright, I've seen too many dumb blue check marks throwing the Spurs under the bus for KD's injury even though we're not in the playoffs. I've decided to roughly chronicle what I remember about last season and how Kawhi is not innocent in all this.

#Spurs #Raptors #Kawhi
1. Spurs gave Kawhi the keys to his injury in August 2017. They had diagnosed him with Quadriceps Tendinopathy (a degenerative disease that can be treated but never healed). Kawhi and his camp sought out multiple opinions and settled on Philly's doctor (who misdiagnosed Fultz)...
The diagnosis was atrophy instead of Tendinopathy. That can be healed with the right treatment....

The proposed reg was published on October 10, 2018, & comments closed in December: federalregister.gov/documents/2018…

As recent DOS numbers preview, this reg could usher in BIG, BIG changes.

Going to do a little live tweeting of today's #HSGAC hearing on the Flores Settlement which the administration and @RonJohnsonWI are looking to overturn so they can get the asylum system and hold children indefinitely in detention
@RonJohnsonWI @immcouncil and @AILANational have a statement for today's hearing which you can see here americanimmigrationcouncil.org/content/statem…
Currently @RonJohnsonWI is doing all he can to say why he thinks the Flores settlement is bad and how he thinks it incentivizes #immigration. He is doing a great job showing he doesnt know what he is talking about. Migrants do not know about the TVPRA or Flores...
