Tension over how companies have responded to a surge in immigration enforcement is the climax of a yearslong reckoning with a local tradition of corporate social responsibility.

A 23-year-old American was shot last March in South Padre Island. ICE’s involvement in the shooting was not disclosed until this week.

I have to wonder how many more murders ICE is covering up.

 

As tensions mount between the Trump administration and the courts, the judge called “shameless” a claim by officials that her earlier order was not binding.

GEO Group and CoreCivic face competition as the agency looks to dramatically reduce the number of immigrant jails by shifting to massive warehouses

What's going on is that people are rejecting most of the warehouse-to-concentration-camp conversions, so they're going to pick a few really huge ones to do, and pick locations where they can overcome local opposition.

The Washington Post is saying September:

The planning, which has not been previously disclosed, involves several options, including mobilizing at least a few thousand members of the National Guard as soon as September to what is the third most populous city in the United States.

The use of thousands of active-duty troops in Chicago also has been discussed but is considered less likely at this time, said two officials who, like others interviewed, spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the issue.
