Hanne Engan was deprived of insulin in ICE detention.
She has Type 1 diabetes & needs insulin to survive.
They deprived her of urgent medical attention & she almost died.
This isn't a one off. This administration is torturing immigrants to get them to sign away their rights.🧵

Trump tried to corner Canada.
PM Mark Carney didn’t blink. He didn’t fly to Mar-a-Lago to kiss the ring!
Instead he did what no Canadian leader has done in our lifetime.
He told the president of the United States to go to hell!
Now that’s how you handle a bully!

New from Nansi Guevara: "We know where the checkpoints are. We warn one another when the Border Patrol is nearby. In public space, we adjust our bodies and behavior, attempting to go unnoticed, offering smiles of compliance as a way to disarm."
My Home Is Treated Like a War Zone. That Militarization Expanded to Minnesota.
There have been many violent murders at the hands of Border Patrol agents. This is not an aberration but part of a broader federal apparatus built and refined over decades.
