🇨🇦✈️ Canada just completed its first-ever airdrop over Gaza — delivering 21,600 lbs of humanitarian aid as starvation and displacement worsen 🇵🇸

Here’s what you need to know :

📦 Aid was dropped using a Royal Canadian Air Force CC-130J Hercules, flying from Jordan.
🌍 Canada joined 5 countries (Jordan, UAE, Egypt, Germany, Belgium) — 120 food packages in total.
🛑 Canada accused Israel of violating international humanitarian law by blocking and restricting aid access, calling for this to end immediately.
🇨🇦 Canada also said it plans to recognize the State of Palestine at the UN meeting in September.
📉 Over 60,000 Palestinians killed since Oct 2023 (Gaza health ministry); entire population now displaced.

🔍 A U.S. report found no evidence Hamas is stealing humanitarian aid, despite claims from Israel and others.

138M ICE Deal Involving Canadian Security Giant Raises Eyebrows** 🇨🇦🇺🇸

A U.S. subsidiary of GardaWorld, one of Canada’s largest private security companies, has just been approved by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to compete for up to $138 million USD in “emergency detention” contracts 👀

📌 Here’s what we know:
• 🏢 GardaWorld Federal Services, based in Virginia, is owned by Montreal-headquartered GardaWorld.
• 💰 The company is 1 of 40 firms approved to bid on ICE contracts under an emergency solicitation agreement.
• 📈 The total contract pool is valued at up to $10 billion USD.
• 📄 The deal is tied to U.S. executive orders issued by President Donald Trump earlier this year to boost immigration enforcement and “protect the American people against invasion.”
• 🚨 The $138M ceiling placed on GardaWorld’s subsidiary is one of the highest caps issued under this emergency bid.

👮‍♂️ These services may include logistics, transportation, detention support, and emergency housing for individuals detained during mass immigration enforcement operations.
