As someone who was raised in Gettysburg, I have never heard of this company or know of anyone from the area who is employed by them. Their corporate headquarters according to their website is a historic farm. This whole thing needs more investigation.

Why are we detaining people in cages for days, weeks, months even? Why?? You know the human and financial toll of that approach????? My 2 cents: Either deport them quickly (like in days) or give them a pathway to stay, register, work, pay taxes.

The US government is WAY overbuilding the infrastructure to hold just immigration prisoners. They are anticipating those concentration camps being used to also hold protesters, dissenters, and any manner of political prisoners. Mark my words.
