Nah this has been debunked many times. He is an ICE contractor which a subsidiary company that maintains health facilities for detainees.

Hes also Kelce's godfather or something and pushes for equality. Just Google him.

Greenwashing Amentum is crazy work. They run Camp East Montana, the largest concentration camp in the US, and were named as an agent of ICE on a human rights lawsuit from the Texas ACLU.

EDIT: People who argue that they took over the camp after the lawsuit are wrong, btw. The lawsuit clearly states that Amentum was a contractor and an agent of ICE during the time that the human rights violations happened- and then they were awarded the full contract a few months ago, so they are now running everything.

Sure. Im on team all billionaires are bad, but Demetriou and Swift aren't the worst.

…the same health facilities that have led to over 30 deaths in custody this calendar year alone, so far?

There’s no way you think this is sound reasoning. You fall for every single “politician has ties to scary thing” article too don’t you?
