For-profit immigration surveillance expands under Trump - Velshi - MSNBC

[Rhiannon12866]

NYT reports that GEO Group’s surveillance tech is now helping the Trump Admin to deport immigrants through their tracking capabilities. The Atlantic’s Caitlin Dickerson says GEO is just “one of the many, many tools” the government is using to tackle immigration.

Petra Molnar of Harvard’s Center for Internet & Society says the use of these tools are not just “questions of technology, but questions of power and who has it.” - Aired on 04/20/2025.

1. This Is Important

They are not going to stop with immigrants. They are going to use this technology to create an electronic surveillance police state to monitor all of us. I just posted a video about the Peter Thiel company Palantir that is relevant to this subject. We need to study this subject and discuss it more widely. It is very important and will impact all of our lives.

2. Thanks so much! We need to wake up! All of us are in danger, even those of us who were born here

Not only does TFG hate immigrants (which we all come from or we wouldn't be here - including him), but he also reviles anyone who doesn't support his retaliatory and anti-democratic policies - and we are the next to be targeted.

3. Agreed

Thanks for posting this video. It is a coincidence that I also just posted a video on the Peter Thiel surveillance company Palantir. The subject of electronic surveillance must be in the air. I think that these tech people like Musk and Thiel are behind Trump and have a scheme to turn us into a Police State so that they can own us and everything else. I am glad that people like Ali Velshi are covering this. We need to talk more about this topic. I believe that a technofascist takeover is the end game of what is happening now. Thanks again.

4. Just found your OP and agree that it's spot on. How did we get here so quickly??

We were warned about his vile campaign of retribution, but too few were paying attention.

5. Here is a Link

Here is a link to a thread that I just posted about an article by Naomi Klein on the plans of the technofascists. It is a good article, if you are interested.--

7. I Would Add

I would add that not only were too few paying attention, but also there are a lot of people in this country that welcome a racist anti-democratic fascist regime. That is what concerns me- how many people support a lawless and fascist government. There are too many of those people.

8. They're in for a rude awakening, this will backfire on them as they discover they're the next target

9. I Hope So

I hope that you are right. I intend to fight as best as I can, and I know that there are many others that will as well.
