3 People Die in ICE Custody in April as Conditions Worsen in Immigration Jails

  1. Completely unacceptable levels of callousness from our government.

  2. Isn’t that the intention? It sounds like everything is working according to plan.

  3. The majority of these detention centers are privately owned, and the government pays them per day, per person that is kept there. Just FYI.

  4. So, the US is murdering prisoners now? With some of the prisoners not even being convicted of any crime?

  6. The US government is now killing people.

    Let that sink in.

  7. Pope Donaldoh, Bishop of Palm Beach, must be alarmed by this sin against humanity.

    Surely he and Queen Mother I-dont-care-do-you will go wash feet at these hell holes they are drop-shipping people to?

    Nearly ALL of the 52+ ICE custody deaths were PREVENTABLE? Makes me sick to my stomach. Trump reserves his worst treatment for those least able to defend themselves. Please let those pro bono law firms get to work on this outrage. It needs to stop yesterday.

  9. Ellis Island also functioned as a detention center. There were beds, blankets, hot meals. That was America. What we pretend to be today is a country that America would have once fought to topple.

  10. Guarantee none of them had any actual criminal charges or accusations.

    Among the first wave of death camp deaths.

  11. Next up, executions. Finally, when there are too many to execute efficiently, they’ll build the gas chambers

  15. This is by intent, they’ll get the public used to it and work it up to hundreds dead every day.

  20. and now the deaths in death camps begins cause of trump

  22. Administration should be charged with kidnapping and murder.

  23. People die all the time in our jails & prisons yet no one cares, but when it happens at an immigration detention facility it’s a problem.

    People only care about morals & ethics until someone they don’t like is involved. That’s why no one cares about the people in jail or prison dying.

  24. And DHS fired the entire staff of the office that existed to oversee conditions in ICE detention centers.

  28. Jesus, even Hitler’s concentration camps waited a bit before resorting to the *final solution.*

  29. This is malfeasance, and Homan should be indicted for at least dereliction of duty.

  30. They mean concentration camps. And they’re run and managed by the biggest pile of human garbage.

  32. They don’t see immigrants as humans. There better be a federal investigation if we survive these next four years with actual results. Not this democratic pussy footy around performative crap.

  34. They house them in state facilities too. The counties get federal funds for it.

  35. The media should lean into this stuff and say “Three Possibly Innocent People Die in ICE Custody…”

  36. We need a bill of rights for prisoners. This should include, at a minimum, being provided:

    * A safe environment free from violence from other inmates
    * A controlled climate with safe temperatures (65 to 80 F)
    * Clean bedding and clothing, regularly laundered
    * Clean potable drinking water readily available
    * Free hygiene products, including tooth brush, tooth paste, soap, deoderant
    * Balanced nutritious meals to prevent malnutrition (at least 1500 calories)
    * No punishments for refusing to be slave labor (or work for a pittance)
    * Fair wages for work (minimum wage for the state they are imprisoned in), and fair commissary prices and selections
    * Solitary confinement not to exceed 24 hours without judicial approval
    * At least 1 hour per day allowed outside.
    * At least 8 hours per day in an environment that can see natural light (aka, windows, or mirrors that redirect light into the space)

    We are not barbarians. How we treat our prisoners reflects on our character, not theirs.

  38. *3 People Die in ICE Custody in April as Conditions Worsen in Domestic Concentration Camps

  39. People die everywhere, all the time. Until it is established that people are dying in detention because of ill treatment, this does not mean anything. And for the record, I am as critical as the next guy when it comes to executive overreach.

  40. These United States is the bad guy. Absolute power corrupts.

  41. Question: why are you still referring to Concentration Camps as Detention Centers?

    Sincerely

    Germany
