A large number of these facilities are run by for-profit companies — a multi-billion-dollar industry that has exploded over four decades. The prospect of Trump’s record-breaking deportation drive has seen the market value surge of the two biggest: Geo Group and CoreCivic.

The Trump administration has launched the largest domestic deportation operation in US history — aiming to expel one million immigrants in a year. The president is doubling immigration detention capacity, expanding bedspace and establishing more facilities.

NEW: Even before Donald Trump began his mass deportation plans, the US had the world's largest immigration detention system - 85% run privately. Record numbers are now being held and detainees, lawyers and relatives have spoken of poor conditions. 🔗

A deeper look at the supply chain for three parts in the latest iPhone models illustrates the complexities. Key parts for the touchscreen, for example, are made in South Korea and China, with just the cover glass made in the US.

Shifting the sophisticated global supply chains that sustain Apple’s operations would be a challenge. They have been built up over decades and the bulk of iPhones (around 85 per cent) are still assembled in China, with the rest made in India.

Amid a slowdown in car sales among private buyers last year, fleet purchases and discounts have driven some EV sales growth. However, the market share of battery vehicles has not risen significantly since 2022.
