Hasidic teaching says there are three ways to mourn: through tears, through silence, and by turning sorrow into song.

800 detainees are missing after being held in Alligator Alcatraz in July, showing no record of their location in ICE’s database.

Other detainees have been mistakenly deported or sent to detention centers thousands of miles away.

The cruelty is the point.
