I track ICE flights and third-country removals. Recent words in The American Prospect, Zeteo, Rolling Stone. Former WaPo (sigh), former flight attendant. Signal: gbrockell.44 https://hardghistory.ghost.io/ PFP: Angelina Grimké

Most likely GTI, which is GEO Group’s transportation subsidiary. Theyve got like 500 buses. investors.geogroup.com/news-release...

I didn’t know about it until May, trying to shine a light now so others won’t be an uninformed as I was. *If* Dems get back in power, I’ll continue til it stops.

Please, never ever use them, anyone.
And that includes you, @gothamfc.bsky.social and @nwslsoccer.com
Please pledge, publicly, now that you will never again hire Avelo to fly athletes, or for any reason.

I feel sick. When I worked at a psych hospital the procedures and care we had to go through to wrap a patient was lengthy. The situation had to meet criteria to protect the patients rights.
What immigration is doing here is inhumane and torture.
This regime are NAZIS. ICE is GESTAPO.
There’s too much noise out there distracting from things like this, and the exposure of the Everglades Concentration camp using full on torture devices. All of this is only the tip of this genocidal iceberg. You can’t simply vote this away.
Also this is Seattle, in a blue state.
And it isn’t just used by ICE. In 2023, Othel Moore, Jr. died in a Missouri jail cell after being left in a WRAP device.
WRAPs are in regular use in around 1,800 agencies — from local police to federal law enforcement.
This thing has killed people, and I'm sure traumatized many of the survivors.
