Americas two leading detention companies, Geo Group and CoreCivic, were among the Trump campaigns most notable donors last year, with executives and subsidiaries donating a total of $2.7 million to the presidents campaign and associated political action committees.
Trumps Big, Beautiful, Bill set aside an unprecedented $45 billion for ICE to boost immigration detention. As the two largest detention powerhouses in the U.S., both Geo Group and CoreCivic stand to win big.
excerpts:
-- Over 60,000 people are currently held in immigration detention across the U.S., according to ICE records seen by The New York Times.
-- ICE contracts awarded since January include $353.5 million to GeoGroup, $148 million to CoreCivic, and $313 million to CSI Aviation ICEs deportation flight contractor.
-- Documents seen by The Washington Post reveal that ICE is planning to more than double detention capacity, from around 50,000 to more than 107,000 by January 2026.

The repubes are sure to see the sweetheart $$$ gravy goes to her.
Who can forget her desperate, heart-stabbing, bloody bleak xmas interior decor ? No doubt the Slovenian Smileypod (r) can now create something super #Hellishesque to mark the G.O.P.'s Satanic-style Persecution of the Poor to ensure their suffering is exquisite.
