These are the little things people don't notice in politics and policy that make me go crazy. An interesting piece from last week.

A German tourist was recently held in an ICE detention facility (even while she had a return flight back to Germany booked). She was held for over a week in solitary confinement.
While egregious, that's not even the interesting part.
These ICE facilities, like I've harped on before about conservative policies, are contracted to privatized entities, in this case Core Civic. Trump's attorney general Pam Bondi was a lobbyist, who lobbied for that very industry, private prisons for the GEO Group (a private prison company) that stands to gain billions in ICE contracts through the Federal government. Let me also add,
she failed to disclose her lobbying positions as a conflict of interest to her now current AG role.
The best part, check both of these company's stocks:

See something interesting that happened in
November (right after the election), both of their stocks
doubled in price.
This is the corruption that is happening behind the scenes that people aren't tracking, it's these little things that I love digging around and looking at.
There's so many moving parts in this grift that it can make your head spin.
