On this AM’s earnings call, private prison company Geo Group’s chairman says Geo expects ICE to add 40,000 more detention beds (to its roughly 60,000 present number). He says slower recent expansion due to Kristi Noem’s tight grip on contracting; the government shutdown; and ICE recruitment efforts.

After word of the complaints leaked yesterday, Colorado Common Cause was pressured to drop the idea because, Common Cause’s attorney said, it would reflect poorly on Democrats. The attorney declined to identify who had pressured his group to drop the ethics complaints.

NEWS: Federal agents crashed with woman’s car, pointed guns at her, dragged her out by legs, tossed her in a minivan, held her and (eventually) let her go without charges. This as Chicagoans say the immigration blitz is out of control. (DHS blames her.) www.chicagotribune.com/2025/11/03/c...

"I know the stigma around SNAP is it’s people who are lazy and don’t work and want to benefit off the government," a single mother of two young kids tells @lizzy-hernandez.bsky.social. "I work. I always work. I work full-time, so without those benefits, we are not in good shape.”

ICE agents mistakenly identified a Durango father when they pulled him over this week, a senior enforcement official testified in court today, but still arrested the man and his 2 kids in an incident that quickly sparked protests in the Colorado mountain town // Story by @sethklamann.bsky.social

The father detained in Durango is now in a south Texas family detention center, per ICE’s detainee locator. The locator doesn’t provide information on minors, so it’s unclear if his two kids are with him. But his presence at a family detention center perhaps suggests they are.

After police used Flock cameras to accuse a Denver woman of theft, she had to prove her own innocence. Faced w/ a high-tech accusation, she turned to a different form of electronic surveillance to exonerate herself — apps on her phone and in her car that were also recording what she did that day.

After Shireen Abu Akleh, a Palestinian American journalist, was fatally shot from Israeli military positions in the West Bank in 2022, American officials “found no reason to believe that this was intentional.” But a U.S. colonel has now said that the findings were soft-pedaled to appease Israel.

Sen. Michael Bennet with some subtle shots at Gov. Polis on CityCast this morning. “I’m not accusing him of anything, but I don’t think we’ve delivered.” Then lists several stats about how expensive Colorado is and calls it “a fucking disgrace.”

At a forum tonight, Sen. Michael Bennet (who’s running for gov) said repeatedly that Co. needs to do something about TABOR. But he wouldn’t say if he’d support a graduated income tax proposal, nor would he say what should be done re TABOR. He’s “enthusiastic” about having a conversation about it.
