The horror stories rolling in from Minnesota are just the tip of the iceberg. This 20-year-old, who's lawfully present in the country, was arrested for being Latino, then jailed in a filthy cell where he couldn't even sit down. 18 days of illegal detention. democracyforward.org/wp-content/u...

On January 10, 2026, while driving back to work after getting lunch with his father
and cousin, a car quickly passed O., sped up, then stopped in front of him. (Id. ¶ 3.) A
few men in civilian clothes stepped out of the car and asked for his identification. (Id.)
The men threatened O.—if he did not get out of the car, they would force him out. (Id.)
O. exited the car and was told he was under arrest. (Id.) The men handcuffed him and did
not allow him to bring his phone. (Id.) O. felt like he was being kidnapped. (Id.)
The men detained O., his father, and his cousin, taking them all to Whipple. (Id.
¶ 4.) At Whipple, there was “food scattered on the floor, the floor was sticky with mud,
and everything stuck to your shoes.” (Id. ¶ 5.) The space was so cramped that sometimes
there was no space to sit on the floor. (Id.)

ICE is detaining children and sending them to Hell camps. Shindlers list comes to mind. ICE will not allow any inspection of the concentration camps. This is child abduction and child abuse! Anyone with children should imagine the terror ! The boy kept asking if he could just go home!!
