A long-running lawsuit claiming that a private prison contractor broke federal and Colorado law by forcing immigration detainees to work moved closer to trial Wednesday after the Supreme Court unanimously rejected a bid by the company to toss out the case.
The contractor, GEO Group, asserted it was entitled to immunity and should not face a civil trial because the firm’s detainee work policies were carried out at the direction of Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
The class-action lawsuit, filed in 2014, focused on practices at GEO’s facility in Aurora, Colorado. Immigration detainees there were required to clean all common areas and faced possible solitary confinement for failing to comply. They were offered $1 a day for work preparing food and cleaning laundry at a time when the state’s minimum wage was $8 an hour.

I've never had one of them crazy nympho ex-girlfriends but I have owned a luxury sedan that probably should have been junked 10 years before I bought it, so I think I can relate.
It's baffling to me that exactly none of the talking heads who believe the US and Israel should be joined at the hip will propose the obvious solution: US statehood.
Is it that hard to add another star to the flag?

Always freaked me out doing diaper changes, you'd hold their legs down with one hand to keep them from rolling away while you were grabbing something from the diaper bag and they'd pop straight up off the table Undertaker-style like they'd spent all that time in the womb doing Pilates 🤣

I like 'cold brew August' better than 'February' 🤣
