#ICE detention is big business. It is designed to keep people in regardless of the situation.

“Companies like CoreCivic and GEO Group receive government funding based on the number of people they detain, which is why they lobby for stricter immigration policies. It's a lucrative business:
CoreCivic made over $560m from Ice contracts in a single year. In 2024, GEO Group made more than $763m from Ice contracts.
The more detainees, the more money they make. It stands to reason that these companies have no incentive to release people quickly.
What I had experienced was finally starting to make sense.”

"I’m the Canadian who was detained by Ice for two weeks. It felt like I had been kidnapped

I was stuck in a freezing cell without explanation despite eventually having lawyers and media attention. Yet, compared with others, I was lucky"

After I got back from service in the American War of Genocide in SE Asia and a few months on the old W. German and Czechoslavakia border, I stayed in Massachusetts for a bit.

**[[editorial comment-fact that we did naught to stop Russia from slaughtering the Czechs, but were keen to slaughter late Iron Age Asians, shows US hasn’t changed much]]**

Before I went homeless for a year or so (yeah #VA was terrible then and will be again soon), I did a few things with the folks there. One thing that popped up recently in Apple Music (plse don’t judge) was a recommendation for this guy’s music (below)

He was a housemate and he and I hitchhiked from Worcester to Cape Cod so that he could enroll in the Cape Cod Conservatory of Music. Anyway one of his peaceful songs 👇

Have not seen or heard from him in 53 years.
