Current ethnic cleansing in US is making some a lot of money, while destroying others.
“When ICE takes…person…system around them…built to swallow everything they ever touched.”

When ICE Takes a Person, Why Do Their Possessions Vanish Too?
An investigative expose. Forty-one percent of migrants say their belongings never returned from ICE custody, and the items left behind at the moment of arrest disappear just as quietly.

Today, after months of requests, I toured the Broadview ICE Processing Facility. I want to share what I saw.
The facility has no food vendor, no medical care, and detainees have to use toilets in the middle of shared cells. These are in no way suitable conditions to be holding anyone — period.

Yesterday, I became the first member of Congress in years to visit the Broadview ICE Processing Facility so I could conduct critical oversight on what’s happening inside.
The American people need to understand what’s going on in our communities in the name of the United States.

U.S. Senator Mark Kelly is being investigated for the “crime” of telling people not to commit crimes.
We’ve fallen far.

Homeland Spoiler.
In s1e2 they mention Brody’s family is having financial troubles, as a way to pressure him into reenlisting.
He has 8 years of backpay due to him, how would they be in financial crisis?
If taken as a POW in combat your pay doesn’t stop, does it?!

It will be hard.
But we’ll only be able to move on from this if we hold those responsible to account for what they allowed to happen here.
We must have trials.
We must have sentences.
We must reckon with the truths of America’s sins if we’re to create a new American future.

This #Thanksgiving, you could have a calm & peaceful holiday & avoid politics altogether.
I'm sure that's what the majority of folks did in Nazi, Germany.
Or you can educate your family as to what's going on so they can't claim ignorance.
Talk about #ICELawlessness.
It doesn't have to be hostile.
