One US Citizen Just Triggered a Stunning National Chain Reaction

Glass Empire by W.A. Lawrence: “On August 31, 2026, USA TODAY reported that the U.S. Department of Homeland Security circulated a secret intelligence bulletin naming Laura Berlin’s website, “Who is Profiting from ICE?” Berlin, a Texas stay-at-home mother of two teenagers with nonprofit-communications experience, built the Google Map from corporate filings, government databases, and campaign-finance records tracing companies, agencies, contractors, and politicians connected to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. 

DHS warned that Berlin’s website could aid “local anarchist extremists” and routed the material through HSEC SIN 8, an intelligence category DHS had previously used for domestic-terrorism information. Red lettering acknowledged that “some of this information describes First Amendment-protected activities.” 

Laura Berlin began the project in April 2025 after seeing federal agents round up people and fly men to a Salvadoran prison without due process. President Donald Trump invoked the 1798 Alien Enemies Act on March 15 against alleged members of the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua; officials removed 137 Venezuelan men under the wartime law to CECOT in Tecoluca, El Salvador, and U.S. District Judge James Boasberg ruled June 4 that the government had denied them notice and an opportunity to challenge removal.

• The private-prison corporations received nearly $1 billion combined from ICE in 2025; by June 2026, Jersey City officials said they operated more than half of roughly 70,000 ICE detention beds and sought capacity above 100,000. After Wells Fargo and Bank of America pledged to stop working with them, Berlin traced financing to Citizens Bank, N.A., the banking subsidiary of Providence, Rhode Island-based Citizens Financial Group, which reported $233.8 billion in assets and more than 1,000 branches. CoreCivic had been a Citizens client since 2011 and GEO since 2018; Jersey City officials said Citizens helped the companies obtain more than $2.5 billion in financing…”
