I’m disgusted that a Canadian company has anything to do with this American concentration camp. Shame.

Unfortunately, they have become an international company with contracts with many different countries. If they’re booted out of Canada, they will find another headquarter location.

I agree with Tabatha. We don't need this kind of company in Canada. They are working in a concentration camp in a fascist nation, that has to be illegal and if it's not, it needs to be!

Dean writes in this post:

“The Biden administration’s officials insist they haven’t “authorized or funded” Florida’s camp,..”

WTF? Of course Biden didn’t authorize the Florida gulag, much less fund it. Obviously if the feds authorized or funded this concentration camp, it would’ve been the Trump criminal regime, not Biden.

C’mon, Dean!

This is giving me cardiac arrhythmias! My heart is beating so fast now! If our Canadian government has any ties with this company it must sever these ties NOW! Greed is the mother of all possible forms of cruelty and transcends borders, cultures and race………

It is a privately owned company that has NO TIES to our government.

It looks like Canadians have something to protest too. One unpleasant thing I’ve learned from our American nightmare is some people will put all morality aside for money. Greed has no geographic boundaries.

This is a new kind of war. It’s not about Borders. It’s about ethics and morals. And who knew would be the fucking fake Christians Who would be leading the way to Satan! This is the ONLY time I could say “Canada -stay out of our business”…. But if we learn anything from this entire debacle, it’s not groups of people that are to blame. It’s individuals in groups that are problematic— And we can identify them and stop them with psychological techniques! There’s hope💪🏼🇺🇸🇨🇦❤️ Coming

They no doubt hire Americans for US contracts (in Florida, for example). But it’s still awful .

Thank you for covering this. It's a good reminder that evil corporations aren't restricted by border.

Maybe if everyone started calling it what it is - Alligator Auschwitz - instead of Alligator Alcatraz, it would be more of a public relations nightmare?

Is there nothing that can be done to keep Canadian companies like this out of there? If they want to run a business like that....move!

Canada doesn't need to be linked to such inhumanity.....

This is getting worse everyday 😡😥💔

I would agree. As an American who was a Detroiter for 27 years & now a Californian, I have always appreciated Canada as a wonderful neighbor & I was so proud of Canadians for how they ‘saw the light’ and elected Mark Carney as Prime Minister. If more Canadians knew about GardaWorld & how they operate, I’m sure they would be seeking out ways to put a little crimp in that business. Elbows Up Canada! 🇨🇦

This company provides security for the senior complex I live in. How do I protest? I don't know if there is anything I can do!

You have a voice in your senior community. Talk to your friends & neighbors. Do you have resident meetings to discuss any issues? If so, speak up. Document everything you do & document any missteps of the security personnel you might suspect or observe. Continue to stay updated with what GardaWorld is doing even in other countries. Keep your ear to the ground & use your voice.

The punishing plot thickens by the day. Maybe by any given hour in a day. Undoubtedly new concentration camps are in the planning and building stages, to be funded by all American taxpayers via the Big Beautiful Bill the evil doers in our Congress signed without reservation to please their god.

Thank you for reporting on the gulag practices, Dean. A spotlight isn’t just shining on Alligator Auschwitz now, but also on the corporate whores who wield their might so unjustly as they pad their portfolios with blood money.

Yeah, the USG has been using Gardaworld to provide security for our USAID projects--when we had them. I also see them all over the place here running security for banks. Don't know why they would accept a contract to run security in that place. From my own experience with them in Afghanistan and Morocco, they do a really good job. Seems strange they would damage their reputation by doing this hideous work. They should leave.

Money and power. And they never ask themselves when enough is enough. They have no children so they certainly aren’t trying to build a legacy. Instead, they are living the high life gallivanting around the world while the wife oversees a little philanthropy such as supporting some arts; this way they can walk away saying to themselves, we’re good people; we provide a lot of jobs & so on.
