There is a constantly-revolving door between ICE and the private, for-profit prison industry — and it’s part of what makes our immigration system so corrupt.
Let’s break down how it works, who’s involved, and what we can do to fix it:

BREAKING: The Supreme Court just effectively overruled 90 years of precedent on the shadow docket, greenlighting Trump's firing of multi-member agency leaders while their cases are pending—despite Congress' effort to protect them against removal. A huge decision. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...
![SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES
No. 24A966
DONALD J. TRUMP, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED
STATES, ET AL. v. GWYNNE A. WILCOX, ET AL.
ON APPLICATION FOR STAY
[May 22, 2025]
The Government has applied for a stay of orders from the
District Court for the District of Columbia enjoining the
President’s removal of a member of the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) and a member of the Merit Systems
Protection Board (MSPB), respectively. The President is
prohibited by statute from removing these officers except
for cause, and no qualifying cause was given. See 29
U. S. C. §153(a); 5 U. S. C. §1202(d).
The application for stay presented to THE CHIEF JUSTICE
and by him referred to the Court is granted. Because the
Constitution vests the executive power in the President, see
Art. II, §1, cl. 1, he may remove without cause executive officers who exercise that power on his behalf, subject to narrow exceptions recognized by our precedents, see Seila Law
LLC v. Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, 591 U. S.
197, 215−218 (2020). The stay reflects our judgment that
the Government is likely to show that both the NLRB and
MSPB exercise considerable executive power. But we do
not ultimately decide in this posture whether the NLRB or
MSPB falls within such a recognized exception; that question is better left for resolution after full briefing and argument. The stay also reflects our judgment that the Government faces greater risk of harm from an order allowing a
removed officer to continue exercising the executive power
than a wrongfully removed officer faces from being unable
to perform her statutory duty. See Trump v. International](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:6h7b2i6ttw3l4t7pvbvxdith/bafkreib46fusdo6tfyaq4bbpbbn3y47kchey6aduciplbxr3f2dp3nsyni@jpeg)

With Gregg Popovich's retirement, the game has lost what many of his peers consider one of — if not the — greatest coach in NBA history.
He found success with a fiery and direct approach, but not without unwavering compassion and care.

Really good @chrisgeidner.bsky.social piece on Chief Justice Roberts using his end-of-year report to scold those of us who DARE criticize the Supreme Court in terms he deems insufficiently polite. www.lawdork.com/p/john-rober...
John Roberts attacks court criticism that he decides lacks a "credible basis" as "illegitimate"
Conflating violence against judges with broad criticism the court faces for its extremism, the chief justice ultimately sends a chilling end-of-year report.
