Rs are such PoS. Duke was literrally crying in congress today about the President mulling options as opposed to releasing oil from the reserves. Talkin bout is venezuela more important than Pennsylvania, is tehran more important than Texas, etc. the president is on right now saying he will release barrels from the reserves, watch how republicans spin this to claim he's wasting our emergency stockpile. Keep an eye on the conservative pundits who are going to either downplay this or criticize his decision

Hadn't seen this until now:

Biden’s Immigration “Fix” Involves Jailing Migrants in Their Homes
The Biden administration is launching a new program of digital incarceration – otherwise known as electronic monitoring or e-carceration — for migrants caught crossing the U.S.-Mexico border, according to a report from Reuters citing the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). The program, which will involve confining migrants through electronic monitors, is officially called “home curfew,” and is expected initially to include 164,000 people, but could expand to include up to 400,000. It will be run by BI Incorporated, a subsidiary of the private prison giant GEO Group. Immigrant advocates have criticized the program, arguing that home surveillance continues to criminalize migrants and further entrenches the for-profit immigration enforcement industry.

On Wednesday, Rep. Rashida Tlaib and 24 other Members of Congress delivered a letter to DHS opposing the e-carceration programs, including the new home curfew requirements. The elected officials were joined by 176 humanitarian organizations, which collectively wrote that “ICE has excessively deployed” electronic surveillance measures on “immigrants who would not otherwise have been detained.” They also criticized the program’s massive budgetary increases, from $28 million in 2006 to $475 million in 2021.

The news is further evidence that the Biden administration is primarily seeking to retool some aspects of border enforcement, rather than adopt an approach that radically breaks with that of Donald Trump and his predecessors. Perhaps most controversially, Biden has embraced Trump’s use of a World War II-era law called Title 42 that allows border agents to expel migrants and asylum seekers immediately with no access to the courts to plead their case. The Biden administration has also defended Trump’s family separation policy in court, as well as Title 42 enforcement. Immigrant detention numbers skyrocketed during Biden’s first year in office to nearly 27,000 in detention in July 2021, though the numbers fell in 2022 and currently stand at around 20,000. In August 2019, Trump held a record 55,000 immigrants in detention.

....

GEO Group, and its subsidiary BI Incorporated, was reportedly awarded a $2.2 billion federal contract in 2020 to launch the program, though the companies have said the actual contract was lower. The expanded program could be a boon to the company, whose stock has fallen recently after booming during Trump’s first year in office. The company recently restructured to meet its debt obligations, dropping its status as a real estate investment trust, a business classification that includes companies that own office buildings and shopping centers.

Immigrants’ rights advocates have criticized GEO Group, and its main private prison competitor CoreCivic, for years, arguing that their facilities are poorly maintained, dangerous, expensive and unnecessary. Federal oversight into the facilities is limited, even when it comes to in-custody deaths. A research paper from 2021 found that of the 71 people died in ICE facilities from 2011 to 2018, the Office of Detention Oversight only collected information on 55 of them. Of those 55 deaths, 34 occurred in for-profit facilities.


An article about GEO Group
Poor tech, opaque rules, exhausted staff: inside the private company surveilling US immigrants
For more than a decade, the government has entrusted Isap’s operations to a single private enterprise: BI, a little-known company founded in 1978 to monitor cattle and acquired by private prison corporation the Geo Group in 2011.BI has said in public statements that its system is built on two pillars: the electronic surveillance of people through ankle monitors and tracking apps, and “high quality case management” that helps immigrants integrate in American society.

In reality, BI primarily runs a surveillance operation, one that discourages employees from providing immigrants with personalized services and is hampered by BI’s glitchy proprietary technology, interviews with 12 former BI employees, immigrants in the program, lawyers, advocates and immigrants’ sponsors, as well as internal BI documents, reveal. The for-profit scheme can work against those required to participate, these people say, and often prioritizes the company’s revenue-driving technology over helping immigrants navigate the process.

A Guardian investigation has found:

  • Monitoring as many as 300 people at once, BI case managers often don’t have enough time to offer immigrants tailored support and some are even discouraged by managers from doing so.

  • BI’s ankle monitors can overheat, have shocked people, and at times are put on too tightly by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice).

  • BI’s app frequently malfunctions, causing immigrants to miss required check-ins.

  • There are few protocols governing case managers’ decisions, even though they have enormous repercussions in immigrants’ daily lives.
The US government pays BI hundreds of millions of dollars a year to run Isap. In 2020, the company signed a new five-year contract with Ice for nearly $2.2bn.

Meanwhile, the Biden administration is expanding Isap to include new levels of supervision such as strict curfews.

So Biden is going to have to find another Press Secretary since the rumor is that Jen is going to MSNBC.

She's really good in her role. Shame Press Secretaries don't last that long these days. I can see why though.
