Ok I’m at EWR waiting to fly to ORD. All day.
Incoming plane landed 20 mins ago.
The PILOT 🧑✈️ of our flight just got on the speaker of the terminal to us sitting:
“Folks it’s going to be 45 min taxi due to one air traffic controller and it will be a bumpy ride” he’s based in Chicago.

any company with an “immigration detention portfolio” must be destroyed
The current person in charge of ICE's procurement for detention is a GEO Group executive who ran the company's immigration detention portfolio. He was granted an "ethics waiver" from DHS allowing him to hand out contracts to GEO in his new role.
