Palantir, Geo Group and CoreCivic, cogs in president’s enormous detention and deportation machinery, report ‘unprecedented growth’

The tech, surveillance and private prison providers arming Donald Trump’s massive expansion and weaponization of immigration enforcement are running a victory lap after reporting their latest financial results.

Palantir, the tech firm, and Geo Group and CoreCivic, the private prison and surveillance companies, said this week that they brought in more money than Wall Street expected them to, thanks to the administration’s crackdown on immigrants.

Private prison company executives, during their respective calls, could barely contain their excitement, flagging to investors opportunities for “unprecedented growth” in the realm of immigration detention.

    I think Karp was born in NY, but Thiel was born in Germany. Just one more thing to add to the list of why Thiel is a hypocrite who never should have been given power.

    I find it interesting that being rejected for a clerkship by conservative SCOTUS judges is probably one of the only times he was ever told “No” in his life. Destroying constitutional rights/civil liberty was probably always his long term goal, and even when he failed going the traditional route, he has somehow managed to find an alternative way to destroy this country.

      No returns on Thiel though, we have to make that clear here. If Adolf was German and the Austrians don’t take him back, we don’t take Thiel or Trump back
