Private prison company loses Supreme Court appeal

The Supreme Court has ruled against a private prison company facing a lawsuit alleging immigration detainees were forced to work and paid only $1 a day. Wednesday’s decision is a procedural defeat for the GEO Group, but the case isn’t over. The Florida-based company is fighting a lawsuit from 2014 alleging detainees in Aurora, Colorado, had to perform unpaid janitorial work and other jobs for little pay to supplement meager meals. The company said it was immune as a government contractor, but a judge disagreed. The Supreme Court rebuffed the company’s push to immediately appeal that ruling.

A new study finds migrant fishers’ deaths at sea are driven by systemic labor and governance failures, not isolated accidents.

With little oversight far from shore, captains control food, medical care and even death reporting.

Researchers documented 55 Indonesian cases and urge mandatory reporting, stronger international cooperation and supply-chain transparency to prevent further fatalities.

Migrant fishers’ deaths at sea tied to unchecked captain power, study shows

The deaths of migrant fishers at sea are largely driven by structural labor and governance failures, rather than by safety or compliance issues alone, a new study shows. Migrant sea workers, especially those recruited from low-wage Southeast Asian countries such as Indonesia, often experience violence and fatal abuse while aboard distant-water fishing vessels, those that […]

Nepal’s government is “addicted” to the remittances of Nepalis working abroad to keep the economy going, migrant worker groups say. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2026/02/18/asia-pacific/society/nepal-foreign-workers-death/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #asiapacific #society #immigration #jobs #foreignworkers #nepal #asia #forcedlabor
Nepal is ‘addicted’ to the trade in its own people

The money sent back by Nepalis working abroad represents more than a third of the country’s gross domestic product, according to the World Bank.

"#Anglican #missionary Rev. #WBLewis describing the desperate situation of #Jews living in #Jerusalem under #Ottoman #Turkish rule in 1824.

#Lewis wrote his letter from #Aintoura, a village in present-day #Lebanon, on February 23, 1824. His account is one of the most detailed non-#Jewish eyewitness reports of what life was really like for Jews in the #HolyLand at that time.

He describes horrifying #extortion, #beatings, wrongful #imprisonment, #forcedlabor, and stolen property — all suffered by a community with no #European diplomatic protection in Jerusalem. The letter also covers the long Jewish struggle to reclaim the ruined #Hurva #Synagogue, which had been destroyed by #Arab creditors a century earlier.

This document is historically valuable precisely because Lewis was a non-Jewish outsider with nothing to gain by exaggerating. His testimony confirms what Jewish sources also describe about life under Ottoman rule in Jerusalem."

@alxd With solar cells IMO made by Uyghur slaves abducted by the CCP from Xinjiang as a part of genocide and ethnic cleansing?

Resource intensive neural network algorithm - not OK
Forced labor - OK
Slavery - OK
Abduction - OK
Dictatorship - OK
Authoritarianism - OK
Totalitarianism - OK
Genocide - OK
Ethnic cleansing - OK

Am I understanding the values correctly?
