harrowing accounts from iran
!["When I got to the clinic, I saw 10 bodies lying on the ground. My mind snapped. At the other clinic in that area, they had stacked 200 bodies on top of each other; there was no space.
"I saw a six-year-old girl, a 70-year-old man. I saw a hundred boys whose moustaches hadn't even come in yet. They'd all been shot in the neck, the head and the eyes. It's like they were taking revenge [because] the kids [in our areal are a bit reckless and brave. It was like they were shooting pigeons."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:7migibs2fyj2psyy6lmkul3h/bafkreiale3xizbr6jbrfwvwue3uis73fuhi6edebtjufzsy3d3dlez47f4@jpeg)

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

In Minnesota, we are all too familiar with false spring. You think maybe winter’s finally over...until the cold snaps back, sometimes even harder.
That’s what this moment feels like. You may hear that ICE is “leaving", but they’re shifting, spreading out.
Don’t mistake a brief thaw for safety.

The more than 80 declarations, which the American Civil Liberties Union of Minnesota included in an ongoing class-action lawsuit against the Department of Homeland Security, offer the clearest account yet of observers’ treatment at the hands of the thousands of federal agents who flooded the state.
