Shares of CoreCivic Inc. and Target Hospitality Corp. dropped significantly after US authorities announced the closure of a costly migrant detention facility in Dilley, Texas. CoreCivic's stock fell by as much as 27% following the news, and Target Hospitality Corp. saw a record 42% decline intraday due to the expected contract termination. The closure at Dilley comes after President Joe Biden's executive order banning illegal border crossers from obtaining asylum, prompting ICE to reallocate funds to increase detention capacity by 1,600 beds. Both CoreCivic and Target Hospitality are expected to face financial setbacks due to the contract loss, with CoreCivic suspending its 2024 financial guidance and predicting a negative impact on annual earnings, leading analysts to downgrade their ratings and revise price targets.

When a baby 'drops' during pregnancy, it means the baby is descending into the birth canal as delivery nears. This process, also known as 'lightening,' can happen anywhere from a few weeks to a few hours before labor begins. After the baby drops, various changes occur, such as engagement, descent, flexion, rotation, and expulsion. Pregnant individuals may experience easier breathing, changes in belly shape, increased pelvic pressure, frequent urination, improved eating capacity, reduced heartburn, more discharge, and increased Braxton-Hicks contractions. Labor can start shortly after the baby drops or take several weeks, and certain activities like walking, squats, and pelvic opening exercises may help the baby descend into the pelvis in preparation for childbirth.
