And if they are migrants, add kidnapping to that as well.
Their army is getting its equipment from this sweatshops they are running here on the back of the mentally ills.
Abusing those who are in the system is something evil do all over.
They are in the system, who cares.
Not sure if the number I read was how much the charge or just how much it cost to house them.
They are for profit, so there will be a difference between cost to detain and what they charge the government.
The current CEO of The GEO Group is J. David Donahue, who took over from Brian Evans on January 1, 2025.
George Zoley: remains the Executive Chairman of the Board.
J. David Donahue: joined GEO in 2009 as the Eastern region vice president.
This is only the beginning for these psychopaths in power.
They came to kill everyone

BUZZZZZ
AP did a news story about it but lamestream media buried that in less than one news cycle.
Billionaires playing with the lives of detainees who are not considered criminals, who can’t even make enough $ to make a phone call to their family!🤬

Payed between US$0.12 and US$0.40 per hour will making US$1.9B in profits
Ironic, since the CEO is a Greek national.
The fact that these companies even exist is shameful for the US. Yet another stain on our human rights record.
Doritos are savory
For-profit prison
Is institutionalized slavery
These people are detained under civil, not criminal charges.
Republican fueled nightmare.
That’s called slave labor.
Privatizing it like the US Prisons.
What have they been *convicted* of? You can't force people who are in jail waiting for trial to work, it's no different in the context of immigration.
