Employees and executives of GEO Group, ICE's largest detention contractor, appear in the metadata of a growing number of DHS detention contract solicitations. The contracts are open to competition from other companies. Neither GEO nor DHS will say what role GEO played in preparing the documents.
A metadata readout for a five-page PDF titled "Performance Work Statement." The Company field reads "GEO Group Inc." and appears twice. The file was created on Sept. 25, 2026, at 1:44 p.m. Eastern using Acrobat PDFMaker 26 for Word. The Author and Creator fields are blurred.
A PDF open in a viewer, titled "Attachment 10c1 - Enhanced Transport Requirements Requirement C (Philadelphia)." The page is headed "Moshannon Enhanced Transportation." It lists requirements for ICE offices in Philadelphia, York and Pittsburgh. These include 24-hour detention, transport and guard coverage; additional "GTI" guard and transport assets; and at least three extra transport teams per day, seven days a week, to stage near arrest teams and act as a "mobile detention facility" until the vans are full. The Pittsburgh section says a hub site would free deportation officers to make more arrests. The metadata panel shows the file was created Dec. 11, 2025, with Acrobat PDFMaker 25 for Word. The author field contains the name of a GEO Group Executive Vice President. A PDF open in a viewer, titled "Attachment 10c - Anticipated Transportation Routes Estimate Requirement C (Philadelphia)." The page is a table headed "Moshannon Incremental Mileage Estimate." It lists routes from Dover and the Pittsburgh Sub-Office to ICE offices, airports, federal prisons and about 20 county prisons, with miles per trip, vehicle type, trip frequency and total annual miles. The largest entry is Pittsburgh to Erie County Prison, five times a week, at 68,120 miles a year. The metadata panel shows the file was created Dec. 10, 2025, in Microsoft Excel. The author field contains the name of a GEO Group senior vice president.

Netanyahu directly attacks Zohran Mamdani (and his wife) from the UNGA podium, calling him the "antisemitic mayor of New York City," parroting The Free Press's stories about Rama Duwaji, tying Mamdani to Hasan Piker, and claiming the mayor is "buddies" with Hamas.

This was the 28th time #SCOTUS has granted emergency relief to the Trump administration since 1/20/25. That matches the total number of grants during the entirety of the first Trump administration. And both of those totals dwarf the *four* grants of relief (two each) during the Bush & Obama admins.

I think a client whom I just filed for 3 hours ago was supposed to be on this flight. I included third-country removal relief under D.V.D. in my petition. Chilling that he may have been thisclose to removal absent an ultra-fast turnaround on my request for injunctive relief. Glad 1CA saw the urgency

Despite 1st Circuit's 9/18 ruling invalidating DHS's 3d-country removal policy, DHS claims the decision hasn't yet taken effect. Class counsel fears a flight will take class members to Burundi, Rwanda, & Central African Republic *tomorrow.* Asks 1st Cir for emergency action.
Plaintiffs-Appellants seek an emergency order clarifying that this
Court's September 18, 2026 decision is in effect as binding precedent and that this Court's March 16, 2026, stay "pending appeal" has been dissolved
now that the Court has issued its decision and judgment. In the alternative,
Plaintiffs-Appellants request the Court either issue an order lifting the
March 16, 2026 stay or issue the mandate. Emergency action is needed because Plaintiffs-Appellants have learned that Defendants-Appellees are proceeding with removing class members to third countries in Africa,
pursuant to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) guidance which
this Court found unlawful and set aside, tomorrow. In response to an email
from class counsel, Defendants-Appellees' counsel confirmed in a 5:14 p.m.
email today that their position is that this Court's stay remains in effect until
the mandate is issued. Exhibit A. In addition, counsel for Defendants-
