Summary
ICE just rolled out new, weaker standards for private detention contractors — slashing oversight, letting AI handle detainee communications, and slashing pay — all while facilities face mounting death tolls and abuse accusations. Experts say it’s less about care and more about cutting costs and shielding contractors from lawsuits. One bright spot? A slight uptick in mental health support — but that’s overshadowed by dangerous new rules forcing facilities to accept sick detainees, even if they can’t care for them. The real winner? The contractors — with more flexibility, lower expenses, and stronger legal shields. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
