#ICE Hires Immigrant #BountyHunters From #PrivatePrison Company #GEOGroup

#BIIncorporated, a subsidiary of for-profit prison company GEO Group, will help ICE pinpoint the locations of #immigrants.

by Sam Biddle, December 19 2025

Excerpt: "The deal illustrates a strategy of vertical integration within GEO Group, which has found a growing line of business operating for-profit immigration detention centers under the second #Trump administration. In this case, the corporation stands to be paid by the federal government to both find immigrants and then to imprison them.

"Shares of GEO Group, which donated to both Trump’s reelection campaign and his inaugural fund, spiked following his 2024 victory. Trump’s return to office has proven fortuitous for GEO Group: The president’s '#BigBeautifulBill' earmarked $45 billion for jailing immigrants. 'This is a unique moment in our company’s history,' GEO Group CEO J. David Donahue told investors in May, 'and we believe we are well-positioned to meet this unprecedented opportunity.'

"GEO Group has faced decades of criticism over alleged mismanagement of its facilities and claims of rampant abuse of inmates. In August, The Intercept reported the suicide of a Chinese immigrant held at a GEO Group-operated prison in Pennsylvania. The American Civil Liberties Union filed a federal complaint over the facility in July, criticizing 'horrific conditions' at the prison, including repeated instances of medical neglect.

"In 2023, GEO Group was hit by a class-action lawsuit alleging the 'months-long poisoning' from a chemical disinfectant of more than 1,300 inmates at a California immigration detention center. In May, Tufts University student #RümeysaÖztürk, jailed for her criticism of the Israeli #genocide in #Gaza, alleged her GEO Group-managed jail delayed treatment while she experienced an asthma attack."

A recently retired #PublicServant who headed up safety management for Can­ada’s #NuclearRegulator is now #lobbying his former agency on behalf of the #NuclearIndustry. Brian Torrie left his post at the #Canadian #NuclearSafety #Commission #CNSC in October, according to a post on LinkedIn. He spent nearly 18 years at the commission, which regulates the use of #NuclearEnergy and materials, most recently serving as the director general of the directorate of safety management, and then as an acting vice president.

A shady land deal in #BelfastME as a #ConservationEasement goes missing

A wetland in Belfast was supposed to be conserved “in perpetuity.” Instead it’s being sold as commercial property. DEP is investigating.

By Murray Carpenter
July 13, 2025

Excerpt: "#BankOfAmerica became the owner of the lot in 2006, when it bought #MBNA for $34 billion. In January 2025, Bank of America sold the lot at auction to #WeBuyAndResellHomesLLC, a Georgia company. According to Belfast Assessor’s Office, the lot sold for $15,750, and is assessed at $404,800.

"The new owner promptly listed the property for sale for $295,000, with no mention that it is a #wetlands #mitigation site. The ad, at CORE real estate, reads, 'Zoned commercially, the land is positioned for a variety of business ventures. Belfast is expanding, making this an ideal location for retail, office, or mixed-use development.'

"It’s hard to know how the wetland conservation project seeped through the cracks. Among the banker’s boxes of documents related to MBNA permitting in the #DEP archives, is an unsigned draft of the deed restriction, from 1997. The draft would not be enforceable, however, until it was signed and filed with the deed.

"#MaineDEP spokesman David Madore said the agency is investigating the matter.

" 'The Department’s approval of the 1997 development was contingent on the restoration and preservation of wetland functions and values on the compensation parcel,' Madore said in an email. 'The parcel was intended to be permanently preserved.'

"A Bank of America spokesperson declined to comment on the story, as did the Army Corps.

"These days, it’s an overlooked and forgotten lot adjacent to a bustling area. Someone is using an area near the road as a toilet.

"But back in the wetland, the #alders and #cattails have grown in as intended. On a warm July day, red-winged #blackbirds, common yellowthroats, and #RedEyedVireos sing. And, from deep in the wetland, comes the croaking of a #GreenFrog."

The Failed Promise of Electric Cars

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0_DJ1UKjk-o&ab_channel=MorePerfectUnion

Federal funding for electric vehicle manufacturing was supposed to create thousands of good-paying, union jobs. But workers at Ultium Cells, which makes electric batteries for GM, reveal a different story. They make just $16.50/hour. One worker told us he's afraid he'll come home in a body bag.

Ultium received $2.5 billion from the government for their electric battery project.

One Ultium worker told us, "They need to stop giving taxpayer dollars to companies that essentially treat their workers like gum on the bottom of a boot.”
