Ta, Gary. Mishegas is the right word; it is craziness. So many American lives in the balance. We got strict guidelines from HR, the Board, and the executive team. NO access to patients or any of their records without a signed judicial warrant that specifies exactly what they're looking for. This is the way. My network sucks in many ways, but they're on the side of justice on this.
That sucking sound you hear is the flushing away of whatever dregs of the nation's soul still remain after millions of Americans afflicted themselves (and us) with an evil, stupid so-called president. You just CAN'T elect someone like this and not expect everything to go wrong. It will be a miracle if the world makes it through the next three years without being turned into a lifeless rock.
Folks do love their “Lock them up!” chants. I wonder if they’ve thought about how much it costs to lock up an immigrant, rather than having them out working on their jobs and paying taxes, or attending kindergarten?
Coststudy.org has published actual numbers on their site.
“ All-in average: DHS pegs arrest → detention → removal at $17,121 per person.
“Smooth case” band: Using FY-2025 bed rate $164.65 and 37.5 days LOS, plus routine transport/processing, lands around $7,500–$9,000.
Main levers: Bed rate × length of stay; each transfer typically adds ~7 days (≈ +$1,153), two transfers ≈ +$2,305.
Flights swing costs: Typical removals price in around $190–$550 per person at healthy load factors; low loads spike that.
Alternatives: ATD < ~$4.20/day (ICE-reported; varies by contract year) vs. family detention ~$296/day; both show high court-appearance compliance in studies.
Scale today: With ~59k–61k detained late summer, beds alone run ≈ $9.8–$10.1M/day before flights, medical, courts.
This week’s deltas: LA +1,000 short-stay detentions ≈ $6.17M in beds; Chicago +300 at 20 days ≈ $988k (pre-transport).
Most of the bill comes from two levers: the daily bed rate and how long someone stays. A routine case often totals $7.5k–$9k; the government’s full-lifecycle average is $17,121 because transfers, medical, low-load flights, and admin overhead stack on top. With ~60,000 people detained, beds alone run $9.8–$10.1M/day, before flights and courts.”
Add in medical care after the Brute Squad does their thing. Add in costs to build all the new detention camps. Thanks, Fifth Circuit!
Next, we simply redefine in case law who is really a citizen…
I find it far more likely that Stephen blew his load immediately upon hearing the news and skipped directly to the going to sleep portion of the program. One look at that expression Katie is wearing in all the photos and you just *know* she’s not getting any. (From Stevie anyway.)
That's OK and Thanks. Meanwhile, Shambles withholds $4 billion in U.S. dues to the U.N., which will bankrupt it. Similar to, but more purposeful than, "NATO don't pay me the fair share protection muny!"
Cruelty isn't just the point anymore. Cruelty and revenge for their own sakes are a fetish half the country whacks off on now. There's no other explanation for rulings like this.

Nah, you owe everyone an apology for the horrid Miller thing. Yuck
Been here 30 years, raised kids, paid taxes.
Fifth Circuit: cool story, enjoy indefinite detention.

nothing better than a old Yiddish word to describe fucked up shenanigans, Mishegas!
Well, that’s horrifying. They’ll also be sending citizens to camps to if we let em.
Maybe time to revisit your revulsion to the second amendment

You’re welcome. 😁
Unfortunately, she's pregnant again. Usha, too.
Omg 😳 these people are breeding?
This really highlights the need to excise every single fucking Republican judge in the entire judiciary and replace them with actual humans.

Habeas corpus was nice while it lasted, I guess?
Habeas Corpus is NOT an English word. Wasn’t one of Trump’s Royal Proclamations, aka EO’s, was that English is the official language of the United States of the Christian Uber Race.

We thought it, we said it, and we apologize for nothing.
