How a Tiny, Inexperienced Firm Landed a $1.3 Billion #Detention Deal To hold 5,000 human beings.
by Samantha Michaels, November+December 2025 Issue
Excerpt: "When the Trump administration awarded a $1.26 billion contract this summer to build and operate a new tent city #detention center in #Texas, it made headlines, and not just because the facility, located at the #FortBliss Army base, was expected to be the biggest of its kind in the country. The company that won the job, #AcquisitionLogistics, was so small it operated out of a single-family home in #RichmondVA. Almost nobody had heard of it. 'A random house…just won $1.26 billion from #ICE,' wrote the New Republic.
"Whereas many companies with ICE contracts had long histories with immigrant detention, including private prison giants such as GEO Group, Acquisition Logistics had no prior experience in incarceration. Previously, its biggest federal contract was $16 million, and CEO #KenWagner is circling retirement at 77. Over the summer, the company’s website was inaccessible to the public, with the header 'Site maintenance in progress.' Archived screenshots showed the firm specializes in supply chain management. Could it safely operate a 5,000-bed detention facility?"

#Secrecy seems to be the hallmark of both #DetentionCenters and #Datacenters! Sneaky, sneaky...!
Mystery surrounds #RichmondVA-area home tied to firm behind $1.2B Army #Texas tent-camp contract
By: The Associated Press
Posted 3:36 PM, Aug 28, 2025WASHINGTON (AP) — "When President Donald Trump's administration last month awarded a contract worth up to $1.2 billion to build and operate what it says will become the nation’s largest immigration detention complex, it didn’t turn to a large government contractor or even a firm that specializes in private prisons.
Instead, it handed the project on a military base to Acquisition Logistics LLC, a small business that has no listed experience running a correction facility and had never won a federal contract worth more than $16 million. The company also lacks a functioning website and lists as its address a modest home in suburban Virginia owned by a 77-year-old retired Navy flight officer."

CW: Memorial; Death of a legend
I had more-or-less zero appreciation for art---as practice, as creation, as human activity---when I took his class. I do not remember what compelled me to sign up. But I had pretty much self-assigned myself from first grade as "someone who just doesn't care about art."
Mr. Slipek completely turned that around. He taught me to find the beauty in the connections, the history, and the ever-unfolding narrative that is people trying to communicate things that can be nearly impossible to convey to each other... Through every single form of art. He gave me a framework to understand it as something we do because we are human; because if we didn't, the world would just be... Harder. More boring. Worse. With no small amount of weight, I can credit him, personally, with showing me where the magic was in that entire space. He was also very patient with a kid who was more than a little bit of a screw-up in terms of self-organization and didn't always keep his calendar together: firm but fair about deadlines and the quality of work.
I am not an artist, I do not have the patience, but I have a very deep respect for the practice and the work that I learned in his classroom in the trailer behind the high school (because, hey, buildings are expensive).
Mr. Slipek, I hadn't thought about you in years; I'm crying that you're not with us anymore. Your teachings are, quietly, a tent-pole in my life. Thank you. From the bottom of my heart. Thank you.

Juice Newton & Exile performed concert sets outdoors before the annual fireworks outside the Coliseum in #RichmondVA. Juice had flown in from Buffalo, where the night before she'd performed before a paid crowd of over 13,000 with Eddie Rabbit at a minor league baseball park where they performed their hit 1985 duet "Both To Each Other (friends & Lovers".
In Richmond, after her free pre-fireworks set at the outdoor 6th Street Marketplace stage, the Times-Dispatch newspaper noted her "versatility and spunk" and said " The #VirginiaBeach native can belt out a ballad, hold a note, and sing with the emotion of our greatest stars".
Touring all over that summer from Alaska to Alabama, 1988 was a big comeback trail year for Newton, who had last placed five top ten singles on country charts in 1986 off the album "Old Flame". In 1988, Newton returned to the top ten of the country charts with "Tell Me True" from her #RCA album "Emotion" and had a popular duet single with Michael Johnson released that fall.
#Nashville based #Exile who opened the Richmond gig, eventually became #JuiceNewton's touring backup band, and in 2015 , they even played together again on July 4th in St. George Utah. Septuagenarian Newton has since retired from touring, and has not performed publicly since 2021.
