Ms Rachel from the top ropes
From Ms Rachel's account on Threads, she writes, "CORECIVIC, a company that makes hundreds of millions locking up KIDS in immigration detention
has a PAC that's sending campaign checks to Senator Susan Collins of Maine.
Susan Collins chairs the Senate committee that writes ICE's budget.
ICE is CoreCivic's customer.
The company gets paid out of a budget she controls, and it pays into her campaign."

I admit I was wrong here. ICE allows chains on kids as young as 12 👀 "If it is necessary to restrain a minor, always consider size, age, gender, and cognitive ability when considering the type of approved restraints to apply. Minors under 12 years of age will never be placed in full restraints."
