When Tom Homan signed back on as President Donald Trumps so-called border czar, he appears to have conveniently forgotten to disclose that he had pocketed money from detention centers he would soon be sending undocumented immigrants to.
According to documents obtained by The Washington Post, Homan worked as a consultant for the Geo Groupwhich operates a large number of the nations immigrant detention centersfor two years prior to taking his latest gig. And while paperwork reportedly shows that he was compensated more than $5,000, Homan isnt required to disclose how much he made. In other words, the amount could be much higher.
Since taking the job in January, Homan has pushed for the reopening of family detention centers and dove headfirst into the mass deportation efforts..
Unsurprisingly, these businesses supplying the detention centerslike Geoare reaping massive rewards from Homans work. And as the demand for more beds and facilities grows, these companies expect their profits to keep increasing.

(1,261 posts)State sanctioned, tax payer funded sadism. Nab skilled workers, and their families, who themselves are skilled workers, high achieving students, who go on to do wonderful things for humanity and the world at large, and make them disappear. Make sure to scare and abuse them as often as you can.
I despise all of this !
