Abstract

TABLE OF CONTENTS I. Introduction 717 II. Background 714 A. History of ICE Detention: The Foundation 714 B. History of ICE Detention: 1980-Present 716 1. Immigration Legislation from 1990 to [...], This Note explores the United States' history of detaining noncitizens awaiting immigration proceedings in detention facilities that are often managed in whole or in part by private for-profit prison companies. This Note primarily argues that facilities created through Intergovernmental Service Agreements (IGSAs) lack adequate regulation and oversight, both of which exacerbate abuse against people detained in facilities that were created through these agreements. To curtail the use of IGSAs, this Note proposes that Congress amend the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), that the President issue an executive order limiting the use of IGSAs, and that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) phase out its use of detention centers and replace them with an expansive and accessible community-based case management system.

Abstract

TABLE OF CONTENTS I. Introduction 688 II. Background 691 A. FIFA: The Dark History of Our Beloved Tournament 691 1. World Cup Bidding Process 691 2. Requirements to Host the [...], Qatar is a Middle Eastern country that attracted the international spotlight for its improbable award of the 2022 World Cup back in 2010. This was an historic event in the history of the World Cup because it was the first time a Middle Eastern country was awarded the right to host the games. However, this tremendous event has been overshadowed by stories of abuse of migrant workers tasked with building the infrastructure for this momentous event. Due in part to FIFA's history of corruption and Qatar's procurement process of employing companies without investigating their employment practices, a sporting event that was meant to be enjoyed by millions of people is shrouded in disgust and death. Without the intervention of FIFA's member nations enforcing more stringent practices to avoid the atrocities of Qatar and World Cups before it, more people will continue to be taken advantage of. Introducing an independent governing body that is separate from FIFA would alleviate some of the problems facing the procurement issues that plagued Qatar by allowing independent investigators to determine whether a host country has sufficiently developed and mature procurement practices to build infrastructure for the greatest tournament in the world.

TABLE OF CONTENTS I. Introduction 462 II. Background 465 A. Why Full and Open Competition? 465 B. The Issue of Collusion 465 C. Collusion in Government Procurement: Bid Rigging and [...], Collusion permeates United States government procurement despite the strict statutory regime in place to confront it, specifically the Department of Justice (DoJ)Antitrust Division's Leniency Program. The United States should look to other existing statutory regimes that have been successful in detecting and prosecuting other actions to supplement the Leniency Program, such as the False Claims Act (FCA). By incorporating a whistleblower program like that of the FCA, complete with a monetary incentive, the DoJ can increase instances of detecting and prosecuting collusion in government contracts by simply modifying existing centers within the Antitrust Division to process whistleblower information and qui tam suits.

Percoco succeeded in pressuring officials to drop the requirement right around the time that he returned to his prior position in the Governor's Office., Percoco v.
