ICE today signed a $7.2 million contract with Akima Infrastructure Protection for the construction of a soft sided camp to hold detained women at the Batavia Service Processing Center in Buffalo, N.Y.

ICE funds tent camp for detained women at Batavia
A federal contracting record shows DHS is paying Akima for a "soft-sided tent facility" for detained women, weeks after a New York law barred county jails from holding people for DHS.

Jim Jordan was key to ensuring monstrous mass detention and deportation appropriations in July 2025. FEC records suggest that 11 days later, GEO Group gave $250k to the Jordan-linked PAC American Liberty Foundation. GEO said the cash actually went to a 501(c)(4) called American Liberty Action Fund.
GEO Group’s spokesperson said in an email to POGO Investigates that “the $250,000 contribution in question was not made by GEO’s Political Action Committee and was made to American Liberty Action Fund, a C4 entity.” The American Liberty Action Fund has the same leadership as the similarly named super PAC.

Jeez. The court may have stopped some third-country removals at the last second yesterday, but ICE recalibrated quickly. Sept. 24 saw the most ICE flights+removals in the months I've been keeping a daily log. --at least 90 flights --at least 18 removals, including Haiti --plus a stop at Gitmo

Well now the problems I had looking up specific people last week makes sense. And yes that is deeply messed up. If someone is in ICE custody, they should be findable, full stop. It's already bad enough that people disappear from the system while they're being transported somewhere else.

Not enough people are talking about this. Renditioning immigrants is immensely cruel and that is the point: ICE wants immigrants suffering and dead and they want it done by proxy in other country so they can avoid justice. And they know this threat terrifies immigrants. Your tax $$ funds it.
