Most of us have no idea how bad it is inside ICE detention centers because they have kept it hidden. Then a truth teller shows up and says it plain.
The conditions are filthy. The treatment is inhumane. The abuse is Systematic and routine.

I too "do my best" to make sure that "this doesn't happen."
And I'm proud to say that I've got a perfect record for never dismembering anybody with a bone-saw.
I didn't even have to try very hard.
