"The alarming conditions inside Delaney Hall and other ICE jails have long been the reality of daily life for nearly 2 million incarcerated people in this country." The entire U.S. carceral system is built on cruelty.

When some protested, they were beaten by agents...Some were slammed to the ground or struck with blows, several said. One showed cuts along his wrists and bruises around his neck, which he said he received after resisting getting on the plane. Another said some deportees were left screaming in pain.

So it wasn't about fentanyl after all? The Trump admin sold mass immigration enforcement as a way to fight fentanyl. DHS's own Inspector General now reports HSI fentanyl investigation hours down 31 percent, seizures down 39 percent, and immigration enforcement hours up more than 800 percent.

The ICE raids and cruelty we are seeing inflicted on children are unacceptable.

The federal government has stripped legal representation from hundreds of thousands of unaccompanied children. Many will soon face an impossible choice: navigate our immigration system alone or risk detention and deportation.

Our city is stepping up. We've invested $16.9 million in immigration legal services for unaccompanied children, with another $32 million in this year's immigration legal services budget, including rapid-response legal advice and representation for people in detention.

If you need immigration legal support, we're here to help. Our free, confidential Immigration Legal Support Hotline is available in your preferred language, regardless of immigration status.

"We cannot limit the debate to how, or whether, ICE should operate. We also have to ask whether our laws are protecting the people who live under them. Even if ICE is reformed or abolished, millions of people who work, pay taxes, and raise families here will remain without a path to legal status."

Absolutely unbelievable story - Meta is building fossil-fuelled data centres inside **huge tents**?? An absolutely perfect demonstration of the desperation, impatience and thoughtlessness of this fossil-fuel hungry energy waste boom.
Meta is putting billions of dollars of chips in tents
At it's Socrates South data center in Ohio, Meta is building dozens of "rapid
deployment structures" across the US, putting chips inside, and powering
them with off-grid turbines.
6 "Rapid deployment structures""Move fast and break things"
Zuckerberg told The Information: "We needed to find innovative ways to
scale: We accomplished this by building this cluster across several of our
traditional data center buildings as well as several weatherproof tents."Meta is building at least three tent data centers
At Socrates North, Meta is building its second data center tent, powered by
another 200 MW power plant. The data center is expected to come online
later this year. Another tent data center is under construction in Tennessee.
