The state legislature tried to make a 63 percent black city live with a statue honoring a slave trader, KKK leader, and convict lessor. Now they’re going to make sure Memphians are represented in Congress by someone who hates them, and is terrified to step foot in the city. (Or any city.)

This is exactly why we need DOJ reform to be *codified in law,* as I argued in this piece, and as Adam Schiff and others told me in interviews. The old post-Watergate norms-based approach is dead.

This would mean ICE would acquire 10 GEO facilities, which would allow a Dem President to shut them down the moment they take office, resulting in both less ICE capacity AND less GEO capacity. And in the short term, the total number of prison spaces remains unchanged, just some change ownership.
