We face a clear and urgent choice this year. We can take back the House and put an end to Trump’s agenda, or we can give him two more years to govern by cruelty, division, and abuse of power. There is no middle ground, and no illusion about what’s at stake.

🚨ICE just got access to one of its biggest private detention center operators last night, thanks to a Navy contract.
The move lets ICE bypass normal contracting processes to tap GEO Group to operate its detention centers as they race to buy detention sites to house 92,000 detainees nationwide.

Sounds accurate to me.
