@theNyx__ This is disgusting. That’s not discipline. I can’t believe the teachers stood there and allowed that. Screaming, cursing and whipping him like that. It makes me sick.
Last week, the Trump administration spent $1.5 billion of your taxpayer money to buy two immigration detention centers in California from a private prison company called CoreCivic. The deal closed on July 2.
The government now owns the Otay Mesa facility in San Diego County and the California City facility in Kern County. CoreCivic still runs both places under its existing ICE contracts. This sale demands many questions about what it means for immigration enforcement in Southern California, and I’ll be asking them.
As part of the deal, CoreCivic walks away with an estimated $1.1 billion in profit.
Here’s the corrupt part.
President Trump’s own 2025 financial disclosure lists CoreCivic among the stocks he holds. His administration decides how many billions of dollars flow to CoreCivic. When CoreCivic’s stock rises on a government decision, the president personally benefits.
A president should never be able to enrich himself through a choice his own government makes. That is the entire reason conflict of interest rules exist in the first place. Every modern president before this one either sold off their holdings or used a real blind trust to put a wall between the Oval Office and their portfolio. Trump did neither, and holds stakes in dozens of companies that carry federal contracts, from defense firms to detention operators, and his administration keeps directing public money toward them.
Republicans in Congress need to wake up and open a full and public investigation. Not into one company, but into the entire web. Who across this administration holds a financial stake in the contractors their own agencies pay? Who profited, and by how much, from decisions they had the power to shape?
The American people funded these deals.
They have every right to know who else was cashing in.

The GOP signal has gone out to make Mamdani's request a thing. It's silly.
In Georgia, the state makes similar requests about water use in drought. In Texas and Oklahoma, leaders often make such requests about electricity use.
Haley herself did the same as gov. of South Carolina.
