These federal buildings have cells designed to hold a few people for a brief period; like a holding cell at a police station. Supposed to be 12 hours max, usually less.
People are being held in them for 7-10 days, jammed in like sardines. It’s a nightmare.

I know Sean personally, and his affection for hyped up gatherings, hyperbole, and riling people up against one other is what he perceives as fidelity to Christ. He continues to wound with impunity, without care for the bodies left on the side of the road. I don’t want to be him when he faces Jesus.🤢
