I was acting crazy in North America, and all the crazy people there took it seriously.

Chapter 155 Go ahead and stir things up, stir things up, all of you go ahead and stir things up! (Bonus Chapter 126)

Logan returned to the newspaper office and confirmed that federal law enforcement was indeed conducting major operations in the South, instructing the editorial department to send reporters to cover the story.

Everyone knew that Logan had extensive information channels, and Richard even knew about Logan's double agent identity, so no one doubted it and they immediately got to work.

Unexpectedly, Wade Berwick, the head of Fox River Private Jail, somehow heard about it and approached Logan, his "advisor."

With the strong injection of Wall Street capital, Fox River Private Jail expanded rapidly, like an inflating balloon.

Luxury prisons are fine; they cater to high-end "clients" and accept reservations, so most of the limited number of "single cells" are already taken!
Ordinary private prisons are different.

In Illinois, a former state prison has been expanded and is now much larger, with high walls and electric fences surrounding more cells.

But the expansion also brought a problem that kept prison director Wade Berwick up at night—bed vacancy rates.

Most of the criminals arrested by Chicago gangs for minor offenses were released after six months or more, no matter how many times the sentences were extended.

Although the state government did transfer some prisoners from state prisons here, it is still in a state of semi-starvation for the huge new capacity.

He hopes that state prisons in other states will transfer some prisoners to him, but these states would prefer that he open private prisons there rather than cramm people in.

Therefore, the warden, whose blood was that of a slave owner, suffered most every day by inspecting these empty beds, as if he could hear the sound of dollars evaporating in the air.

He wished Chicago would immediately launch another citywide "criminal manhunt," stuffing every minor offender and even the homeless into his jail!
Unfortunately, this beautiful dream is difficult to realize.

After gangs took the initiative to "rectify" street security and arrested a large number of ordinary criminals and put them in private prisons, it's an exaggeration to say that people in Chicago would not pick up lost items, but it's not an exaggeration to say that "even passing dogs wouldn't dare to steal food."

Just as Berrick was lamenting over the empty beds, he heard rumors that federal law enforcement was going to "crack down on illegal immigrants," and his DNA immediately kicked in!
Illegal immigrants? Aren't they a ready-made, endless source of "customers"?

Moreover, they are usually the group that is easily overlooked and is in a completely weak position in terms of law and public opinion, making them practically perfect slaves!
He immediately approached Logan as quickly as possible, saying, "You're our consultant, you can't just ignore this!"

Logan rubbed his temples, unsure of what to say.

In the south, there's the Ku Klux Klan, an extreme racist organization; Wakanda, a black militia led by Hughie; the Bureau of Investigation, which Hoover is trying to revive; and the French black veterans, full of get-rich-quick dreams, about to cross the ocean...

Now, another private prison force, driven by Wall Street and gangster capital, is added to the list, eager to fill its cells with "illegal immigrants."

He couldn't even imagine what kind of mess the south would become.

I'm inexplicably looking forward to it!

So he immediately gave Wade Berwick the contact information of the Attorney General's assistant who had previously communicated about the "operations" of the New York demolition campaign.

“I think you could speak directly with Assistant Attorney General Smith. Here is his contact information. Perhaps you can find common ground for cooperation.”

Wade Berwick was overjoyed.

As expected, Wade Berwick's involvement caused a strange chemical reaction in Hoover's original plan to "establish his authority".

Soon after, a secret meeting was held in a conference room at the Department of Justice in Washington, D.C., to decide the fate of “illegal immigrants” in several southern states.

Attendees included Edgar Hoover of the Bureau of Investigation, representatives from the Immigration and Customs Enforcement, local law enforcement representatives from several states including Mississippi, Arkansas, and Alabama, and Wade Berrick, head of the largest private prison in the United States.

At the outset of the meeting, the Assistant Minister of Justice set the tone with a somber tone, as if the nation were facing a life-or-death crisis:
"Gentlemen, we must face a stark reality: the great United States of America is being invaded by a large number of illegal immigrants!"

“They disregard our laws, erode our communities, steal our citizens’ jobs, and threaten our traditional values ​​and security!”

Upon hearing this, the attendees showed expressions of shock and disbelief, as if they were hearing this "horrifying" news for the first time.

The assistant, pleased with the crowd's reaction, continued, "As we all know, President Harding and our Department of Justice have always firmly supported policies restricting foreign immigration to protect our domestic workers. Therefore, we must unite and take decisive action against the escalating 'illegal immigration incursion' in the South!"

"We must strike hard!" the attendees said in unison, their expressions solemn, as if they were swearing an oath of allegiance.

Next, the assistant began to make the specific arrangements—

"The Bureau of Investigation will be responsible for investigating and cracking down on large criminal groups that organize and transport illegal immigrants into the country, cutting off the hands behind them!"

Hoover resisted the urge to roll his eyes and remained expressionless.

"The Immigration Bureau will be responsible for leading the identification, tracking, and arrest of immigrant individuals who have already infiltrated the United States and are residing there illegally!"

The immigration representative nodded with a smile. They received a "bonus" for every "illegal immigrant" they caught and thrown into Fox River's private jail.

"Local law enforcement agencies in all states, please fully cooperate with your federal colleagues in providing local intelligence and logistical support!"

Several state law enforcement representatives were practically grinning from ear to ear. Great! Finally, they could legitimately remove those Black "illegal immigrants" they disliked!

Damn it, otherwise the KKK would be beaten up every day and crying for help. If we use our political influence to ask them for help, they'll get annoyed too!
“Finally, we are delighted to have a socially responsible entrepreneur join us.” The assistant turned to Wade Berwick. “The Fox River Correctional Center will generously provide facilities to temporarily detain the undocumented immigrants apprehended during this operation, ensuring they are properly cared for before deportation!”

Wade Berwick immediately smiled and puffed out his chest, thinking to himself that they would never be "deported" in their lifetime!

The assistant concluded with a passionate statement: "Under the professional crackdown by the Investigation Bureau—"

Hoover smirked.
"Thanks to the efficient enforcement of the immigration authorities—"

The immigration representative smiled even more broadly;

"With the full cooperation of the local government—"

The state representatives exchanged knowing glances.
"And with the strong support of our patriotic entrepreneurs—"

Wade Berwick puffed out his chest even higher;
"This means that the whole of America is united, and we will definitely be able to deal with this invasion of illegal immigrants!"

America wins!
The meeting room erupted in enthusiastic applause!

After the meeting, the assistant kept Hoover behind to "praise" him again on behalf of Attorney General Doherty.

"Edgar, the minister is very pleased with your recent efforts in generating revenue. He specifically instructed me to tell you not to overwork yourself and to take good care of your health. The responsibilities ahead are still heavy!"

—For every "illegal immigrant" admitted to Fox River Private Jail, the Department of Justice receives an "incentive"; moreover, the Department of Justice plans to apply for "illegal immigrant detention management fees" to be split 50/50 with Fox River!

All of this is thanks to Mr. Hoover's hard work!
Hoover: ...

To be honest, he even felt a little bit of admiration for him.

These bastards are incredibly capable! They seem to be able to turn anything into a tool for profit!
But most of them are alpacas!

What he wanted was a law enforcement operation that would demonstrate the Bureau of Investigation's professionalism and authority, but it suddenly turned into a "slave-catching operation" to fill beds in private prisons!
The Bureau of Investigation didn't want to be a henchman for the KKK, but it couldn't help but become a henchman for capital!
He didn't suspect Logan was involved—he hadn't mentioned the Bureau of Investigation's specific targets, and Logan couldn't possibly have connections to the entire South and know about the Black armed groups there.

All he knew was that after submitting the plan to the Department of Justice and then bringing it back, it was completely distorted and unrecognizable!
His current feelings of resentment are probably similar to—

"Go ahead and stir things up! Stir things up until law enforcement loses all its authority and becomes a complete mess, stir things up until America collapses, and I'll just go down with you!"
