  • The number of private security firms the FT has been able to interview tells its own story, and their backgrounds too: experienceD, skilled staff leaving the FBI to set up business as entourage for our new feudal overlords.

    People are losing faith in society as having anything approaching meritocracy. Rising to the top is no longer credible. And it’s not just security spending, it’s all that work on their mythos and origin stories promoting the idea that they are ubermensch.




















  • Shaw is on what is known as a “combo card” visa – an employment visa, which she obtained through her employment at a maximum security juvenile facility, and an I-360 visa, which can grant immigration status to domestic violence survivors.

    Shaw had recently received a letter confirming her visa renewal, not realising that the I-360 element of her visa was still pending approval.

    “It wasn’t until she tried to come back across the border that she realised only half of the combination card – because it’s only one physical card – had been fully approved,” said Besancon.

    Border officials did not need to detain Shaw and could have filed for humanitarian parole, Besancon said. Meanwhile, all three of Shaw’s children have had their I-360 visas approved, and Besancon alleged her youngest son was therefore being detained “illegally”.
