Detainees, their lawyers and relatives have told the FT of overcrowding, poor food and medical and legal issues.

The Financial Times analysis has identified a number of facilities housing hundreds more people than they were designed to hold.

A record 57,800 detainees are now being held — a 46 per cent increase since Trump came to power.

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.

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.

In three recent incidents of potential sabotage, vessels have been accused of dragging their anchors for long distances, with at least 11 incidents of cable damage since October 2023

The Baltic Sea is particularly vulnerable. It is a busy, shared waterway and more than 90% of its international waters are shallower than 150 metres - easily reachable by dragging anchors.
