The nation’s largest private prison company is asking the Supreme Court to give federal contractors blanket immunity from lawsuits — including human trafficking claims. If they win, private contractors could operate with even less accountability than they do now.

Oh hell no. Call Congress & demand oversight & accountability. This is OUTRAGEOUS. Support those in the fight for the 99% & rule of law with ACLU, Democracy Forward, Democracy Docket, 5calls, Indivisible, 50501, the DCCC. Support a free press. Passionate peaceful protests matter. Ripples matter. ACT

Good gods. It’s already hard to get justice! One of those contractor types finally lost a lawsuit December of 2024 for their support of the torture of US prisoners in the post 9/11 war on terror. Took 15 years! But at least it was $42 million. www.hrw.org/news/2024/11...

More than 1,000 people, arrested by ICE have literally disappeared. If they’ve been deported, their whereabouts are unknown. If they are still detained within the USA, there’s no record. Reports of inhumane treatment in ICE facilities abound. Who knows how many have died?

The intellectual opportunism is astounding. “Derivative sovereign immunity”? This could open floodgates to other “derivative” powers. Derivative power to order the National Guard into a city? This is Shithole Capitalism. Amoral, brutal, corrupted, beyond “Idiocracy”. Beyond sci-fi.

Congress & the Senate need to get their asses in gear and do their fucking jobs to help Americans….who voted for them. They are lining their pockets, enjoying great healthcare and a vacation thanks to Epstein. They need to do their fucking job!

THEY ARE NOT THE GOVERNMENT. They hardly deserve any immunity granted by legislation and law. But with this Supreme Court, they might just can wrapped in immunity as an extension of a nearly omnipotent Federal executive branch.

Yes, but also so they can sell us as human commodity. Sell the Country/land off to the richest in the world, bit by bit, to make the most money. We will have no rights or property and be used, bought, sold at their discretion. WE WILL NOT ALLOW THIS TO HAPPEN. But we need help.

It's a bad thing they can make a lot of money off of. And that's all that matters now to these depraved people in charge....they would lie to their mother, and then sell her. No morals, no shame. Only GREED. They have fully given into it. Addicted.

Imagine if Germany had granted their prison guards this immunity; would that have stopped American prosecutors? No, and it should not be allowed to stop prosecutors today. It can't be legal to grant immunity to inhumane lawless acts, including sadism, torture, and murder. Even this Supreme Court.
