Detention means a temporary hold, not a death sentence. These places are concentration camps. "Immigration and Customs Enforcement" means ensuring laws around movement of people and goods are followed. These people are the henchmen of the MAGA Murder Regime.

An inventor showing an RSPCA (Royal Society of Prevention of Cruelty to Animals) inspector the dog feeding mechanism he has built in action. A dog is running on a treadmill which is causing some weights to lift, which when they drop, powers a complex set of gears which release the dog, including dog food and carrots which are diced as they slide into the bowl which has already been washed by the mechanism.
In English: "I've built AI into the contraption you see at the back which harnesses the power of the dog on the treadmill to lift some weights.

And when they drop at a given point it all whirls at a pace, stops the treadmill, washes the dog's bowl, releases and chops the feed as it slides down to the dog, it's very good, and works most of the time.

Sadly if the dog's too big it's done for but the AI is very good hearted and is very very sorry every time."

‘It’s the best feeling’: how Copenhagen gave cyclists a green wave. “Traffic lights are synchronised so a rush-hour cyclist at 20km/h can catch green lights all the way.” If you want people to choose not to drive, make the non-driving trip better & easier for them. It’s as simple as that, really.

Anyone asking this question doesn’t understand, or doesn’t want the rest of us to understand, what property taxes are for. Obviously, your share of municipal infrastructure costs and services etc don’t end when you pay off your home. They’re as likely to rise as they are to drop. Obviously.
