It's below pre-pandemic rates and organized shoplifting gangs are almost non-existent. Only 0.1% of cases involve six or more people.

The real crime is $50 billion in wage theft.

Here's the DOJ data: counciloncj.org/shoplifting-tr….

Less than 48 hours until Javier Milei is inaugurated as President of Argentina and he is already aligning himself with the most reprensible people possible. Only silver lining is that it’s almost guaranteed he will end up a failure like his buddy Bolsonaro.

Private prison firms like CoreCivic and GEO Group are trying to cash in on ICE's new surveillance plans.

In 2023, these two firms donated $484k to Congress and spent $2.1m lobbying for these policies.

The program could entrap millions of immigrants with pending court cases.

Some scathing quotes from State Department officials on Netanyahu in this Akbar Shahid Ahmed report: 'It just feels like patting ourselves on the back while it increasingly seems like the IDF are waging a campaign of ethnic cleansing.”

🚨We are outraged at reports overnight that the White House is ready to make a deal w/ Senate Republicans that would result in the rounding up of migrants across the country, a dismantling of US asylum law & other horrendous anti-immigrant policy changes. humanrightsfirst.org/library/human-…

Biden Admin threatening to sell out immigrants by reinstating Trump’s nationwide expedited removal and destroying asylum process in exchange for more funds for war. It would be most restrictive anti-immigrant policies since the racial quota laws of 1920s.

Private prison firms like GEO Group and CoreCivic are set to cash in on immigrant surveillance plans laid out by Congress.

This year they donated $484k to Congress and spent $2,150,000 lobbying for these policies.

It’s not a coincidence.
It’s corruption.

Florida’s record heat is harming and killing outdoor workers. There are efforts to establish basic heat stress protections at the municipal level that could save lives, so the Florida Legislature is siding with greedy industry lobbyists to try and preempt ordinances altogether.

Update: A committee substitute for this bill (HB 433) has been filed that would expand this to preempt a whole host of labor standards. It's set to be heard by a House subcommittee next week.

This has been proposed during previous sessions, backed by anti-union industry groups.

Special interest groups lobbying Florida lawmakers to gut child labor protections. They want minors to work dangerous jobs. This comes after passage of a harsh anti-immigrant bill, which exacerbated labor shortages in the state.

I've just invoked Art.99 of the UN Charter - for the 1st time in my tenure as Secretary-General.

Facing a severe risk of collapse of the humanitarian system in Gaza, I urge the Council to help avert a humanitarian catastrophe & appeal for a humanitarian ceasefire to be declared.

New from me: Miami City Attorney Vicky Mendez operates as a mob lawyer, complicit in corruption, enriching herself at expense of residents. New commissioners Miguel Gabela and Damian Pardo should act on their anti-corruption mandate and move to oust her.
