  BREAKING: DHS Loses Bid to Dodge Blame for Dangerous Conditions at Adelanto A three-judge panel unanimously rejected the government’s bid to pause a court order over dangerous conditions at Adelanto — and taxpayers, not GEO, are the ones on the hook for what happens next. Pablo Manríquez Aug 20 WASHINGTON — Three federal judges told the Trump administration Thursday what it didn’t want to hear: contracting out a detention center doesn’t contract out the Constitution. A Ninth Circuit panel — Judges Margaret McKeown, Michelle Friedland and Eric Miller — unanimously denied the government’s emergency motion to stay a preliminary injunction over conditions at the Adelanto ICE Processing Center in California’s High Desert, lifting the administrative pause it had granted while it considered the case.

  SHARED FOR INFORMATION AND EDUCATION ABOUT THE ABUSE BY  GEO GROUP!    GEO Group just sued Colorado to block a state law requiring quarterly health inspections of their Aurora detention facility.    The law exists because GEO refused to let inspectors interview staff during a gastrointestinal illness outbreak earlier this year.    Before that a detainee reported being served spoiled milk.    Another said the food arrived soggy and moldy.    The air conditioning broke, then was turned up too high.    GEO's legal argument is that requiring them to meet basic health standards constitutes an unfair burden on the company. TRACK TRUMP'S DETENTION CRUELTY Let’s break this down: GEO Group is a publicly traded company making hundreds of millions of dollars on federal detention contracts. When states try to verify that people inside their facilities are not being served rotten food, GEO hires lawyers and sues.  They have...
