Seriously?

President Donald Trump's immigration policies have sickened Americans across the country, but the companies operating the detention centers where undocumented migrants are housed have been reaping the benefits.

Now, General John Kelly—President Donald Trump's former Chief of Staff—will join the board of Caliburn International. The company operates the country's largest detention center for unaccompanied migrant children.
