400 immigrant children were kept in custody beyond the 20 day limit. Five children were held for more than 168 days. Advocates say these kids are suffering illness and injuries and not receiving proper medical care. They’re being sent to immigration court alone The cruelty is the point

They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.

Amnesty International, interviewing migrant detainees, identifies use of the confinement box. There can be no denying it is a torture prison

ICE detained a US citizen who was originally from Somalia. They grabbed her because they didn’t like her hijab. She says they sexually assaulted her and said things like “what are you hiding under your hijab” She was held for 24 hours. A US citizen. No one is safe.

This would be a war crime even if there were an actual war and these people were actual combatants, which there isn't and they weren't. It's unquestionably an unlawful homicide under any form of law you wish to apply: military or civilian, domestic or international, federal or state. ...

Never forget that the airlines were instrumental in reducing the Covid isolation requirements and paid time off. Why? It was hurting their profits. They were about to lose money again due to the shutdown… so the Dems caved. Medicaid & ACA will be gone to keep airlines happy. Profit over people.
