  5. #MaineACLU Denounces ‘Cruel’ Use of #NewHampshire #FederalPrison to Hold #ICEDetainees

    By Edward TomicMarch 11, 2025

    "The #Maine American Civil Liberties Union (#ACLU) has issued a statement denouncing the use of a New Hampshire federal prison by U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to detain suspected illegal aliens.

    "Last month, media outlets began reporting on a leaked memo, signed Feb. 6, that indicated ICE was intending to use #FCIBerlin, a medium-security prison in Berlin, N.H., to hold immigration detainees in custody.

    "That memo noted that the units at FCI were not currently available due to there being a 'substantial amount of preparation and resources' needed before the prison could accept detainees, such as additional funding for staffing, food, utilities, clothing and other items.

    "The memo also indicates that the federal Bureau of Prisons or warden at each locally designated prison may approve or reject a request by ICE to hold an ICE detainee for any reason, such as for lack of space, or medical, mental health, safety or security reasons.

    "ICE lodges immigration detainers against unlawfully present noncitizens who have been arrested on criminal charges or who the agency has probable cause to believe are deportable from the U.S.

    "'The government should not be using federal prisons to support the president’s #MassDeportation efforts,' said Carol Garvan, legal director of the ACLU of Maine, in a Monday statement.

    "'The federal government itself acknowledged that FCI Berlin would require a ‘substantial amount of preparation,’ yet just weeks later they have already begun detaining people there,' Garvan said. 'We have strong concerns about the #inhumane treatment of people in ICE custody, and we will not stand by while our region is used to carry out these cruel policies.'"

  7. Top #DiversityEquityInclusion officer for #Nike sentenced to 5 years in #federalprison for nearly $5 million in alleged #ConArtist #kickback #fraud #schemes

    She went from working at MTV/Viacom and #CoxCommunications and became a "Global #Diversity Program Manager" at #Facebook, where the #ERG exec issued millions in #Venmo, #PayPal and Ca$h App payments thru accounts of friends and relatives.

    #Meta, determined her $4.9m #embezzlement schemes began within weeks of joining the #SocialMedia empire, who'd reputedly found her through posts on #LinkedIn, and employed her for 4 years before she moved in to #grift Nike. The Oregon based sportswear mfg giant, who also discovered fiscal irregularities under her aegis, told prosecutors her “complete lack of #accountability or #remorse was incredibly disappointing,”

    The attached video shows Barbara Furlow-Smiles describing her inclusive #PayItForward #philosophy while engaging with young #JobSeekers before she was #terminated by #FacebookHQ.

  9. @dogzilla @Kozmo

    In this case, also completely unnecessary.

    The objective is to make the lives of #FederalPrison administrators easier, by not having to square the peg with the round hole of Secret Service protection inside their facilities.

  11. Several of VA's #House #Democrats slammed #Republicans' efforts.

    #GerryConnolly said on X that "Donald Trump is facing 91 #felony charges. If Republicans want to name something after him, I'd suggest they find a #FederalPrison."

    "Congress must act on pressing issues like reauthorizing the #FAA & passing the #NationalSecurity supplemental. Yet this is what… #HouseRepublicans leadership focuses on -- renaming #Virginia's #Dulles airport after #Trump," Abigail Spanberger wrote on X.

  13. #OTD in 1995 #MarionShepilovBarry Returned To #TakeTheOath for his 4th Term As #MayorMarionBarry of #WashingtonDC . The caustic & charismatic former 60's & 70's #CivilRights leader had lost much of his sheen and the mayor gig he'd held since 1978 a few years earlier, due to having "violated the public trust" and serve a #FederalPrison sentence after being videotaped smoking #CrackCocaine in a hotel room #StingOperation set up by federal agents.

    When Marion Barry left prison in 1992, he was met by six church busloads of supporters who prayed for him and cheered him on, and the seasoned slickster quickly re-ascended DC's political ladders and Barry's supporters unfurled the reassuring #CivicMinded #CampaignSlogan "He May Not Be Perfect, But He's Perfect for D.C."

    As Barry ran for his fourth term for mayor, it shocked outside observers and when his critics brought up his past felonious failings, they were told "#GetOverIt ". Union Temple Baptist #MegaChurch Reverend Willie Wilson who helped organize the #MillionManMarch on Washington during Barry's 4th mayoral term said of him ″People are often stigmatized because of transgressions they may have committed and many times observers don’t realize that a human being is an imperfect thing, Marion Barry, while not being perfect, has many good qualities that can be used to the benefit of the #community.″

    Barry's #triumphant #SecondHoneymoon #VictoryCelebration was short lived, as the city, which had been plagued by #corruption scandals, and led the nation in homicides under his last two admittedly #DrugAddled terms as #Mayor, was now amidst a spiraling 90's #BudgetCrisis, and over a billion in debt since he'd last held the reigns of power. Barry's first accomplishment was to float a bond and get #WallStreet to lend the city $250 million to keep the empty city coffers paying bills.

    Newt Gingrich's #GOPControlledCongress soon stripped #theChocolateCity of its symbolic vote on the house floor, and the #ClintonAdministration assumed control of the city's operations, hiring, firing, #debt payment liabilities and day to day spending, leaving the former #HomeRule champion mayor #stripped of all authority other than #performative #oversight of of #ParksandRecreation, #publiclibraries , #DCTourism board and mostly #CeremonialDuties.

    Barry declined to run again in 1998, but stayed active in #Ward8 #Soufeast #DistrictPolitics serving as an #outspoken, #controversial #CityCouncil member oft hounded by petty political squabbles, #PressScandals and #TaxTroubles for much of #TheNineLivesOfMarionBarry until his death in 2014.

    To see a multimedia slideshow and better understand his enduring appeal as #MayorForLife to many citizens of DC, and how he arose from poverty to join #SNCC and emerge from the civil rights struggles in the 1960s to an indefatigable #PoliticalPower broker in the nation's capital , visit this link : artsandculture.google.com/stor

  14. CW: prisons, sex

    Weird - or unexpected - prison fact: In the feds, sex offender prisons are viewed as safer than a lot of other facilities, so a lot of celebrities end up there.

  16. The 1st Step Act ordered federal prisons to give addiction medications to more prisoners. But 4 yrs later, >90% of people who need them aren't on them

    Instead, they're getting punished for smuggling in meds they should be getting legally.

  18. GOP Congressturd Matt Gaetz' Corrupt Florida Wingman Joel Greenberg sentenced to 11 years #FederalPrison for multiple charges including #wirefraud, sex trafficking minor etc.

    Greenberg's attorney disappointed that after fully cooperating for years with DOJ before sentencing, no else has been charged in related matters.

    Prosecutor's involved recommended Gaetz be charged back in Sept, but senior officials within Merrick Garland's #DOJ have thus far been silent on a potential political hot potato prosecution as #GOP take over House of Rep's with Gaetz on Judiciary Committee.
