Trump is the first president to call for America to be attacked. And his Republican allies said nothing. They don't care about you, or the country. Vote Democratic this November. The future of America depends on it. youtu.be/DhIeyeqI2Ng

Disability advocates warn these changes could push more people into institutions by making the support they need at home harder to get. This affects children, adults, and elderly parents. Nobody should have to give up their freedom to get the care they need.

How Trump’s homelessness crackdown became a sweeping retreat from disability rights
After issuing a memo making it easier to institutionalize homeless people, the Justice Department began abandoning cases protecting disabled people’s right to live in the community.

A judge stripped community-integration protections from a federal disability rights regulation at the Trump administration’s request. Disabled Americans fought for decades for the right to live in their own homes and communities.

We’re at the “shipping container courts” stage of ICE’s mass expansion of the enforcement system.
Each detention unit would sit on asphalt or concrete behind an office's existing security fence, with a counter for processing people and a separate holding area fitted with a toilet and sink for detainees according to the draft work statement.
The agency also wants a 300-square-foot unit for interviewing people in custody and a 60-square-foot "Virtual Immigration Court Unit" for hearings run by the Executive Office for Immigration Review, the Justice Department agency that operates the immigration courts.
Both must also be designed for their purpose before delivery.

It doesn't matter if they are in pain, hungry, thirsty, or kids on board. Some of these transits are more than 30 hrs in shackles. A few flights might address needs but the records show they opt for cruelty. If victims complain, ICE restrains them further.
