Immigrants detained in unsanitary and “inhumane” conditions at the Adelanto ICE detention center outside of LA are one step closer to receiving clean water, humane medical care and sanitary conditions after a federal judge ordered ICE to make sweeping improvements at the desert facility.

Judge orders ICE to provide immigrants at Adelanto with sanitary conditions, medical care
Attorneys for detained immigrants said the court order shows that “no detention facility in this country is above the law” and that deaths at Adelanto were preventable.

This meme is actually based on a real scientific finding. Researchers studying howler monkeys found that males with larger vocal organs producing deeper, more powerful calls tended to have smaller testes, while species with larger testes tended to have less-developed vocal organs. So, there ya go.

Editorial cartoon of the White House viewed from the front lawn. In the foreground stands a temporary warning sign with the heading “WARNING” in red. The sign reads: “THIS ADMINISTRATION cannot be trusted to tell America’s story honestly and in a way that is inspiring, unifying, and worthy of our great republic.” The White House stands quietly in the background behind the sign.
