The CBS investigation portrays a modern concentration camp, similar to the Soviet GULAG (like CECOT, an acronym): sadistic guards, 24 hour lighting, isolation cells.
Americans once opposed this inhumane system.
The Trump administration sent innocent people there to suffer.

Days before Christmas and masked federal immigration agents continue to take people from Chicago's streets. Video and photos shared to social media depict agents taking at least one man from the Logan Square neighborhood this morning, just west of the Armitage/Kimball intersection.

A child nearly survived his cancer
But he contracted chickenpox & died
This is far less common after the chickenpox vaccine reduced the chance of individuals having severe disease & reduced community spread

A very important thread. When I was probably no more than 10, I saw this picture of the woman known as Harlow in the Philly Inquirer. A little babygay, I was shocked that such a glamour queen could live in my hometown and even more shocked to see her described as "a former man."

As awful as this, the focus on whether the woman was complying obscures the more important issue: in a democracy, there should not be armed agents demanding to see papers of every passing person.
“Traumatized, humiliated, degraded.”
The nurse, a US citizen, 4’11”, 85 lbs, says she was following orders when she was dragged out of her car by masked immigration agents in Florida.
It was the 3rd time she had been stopped and told to produce ID.

Financial incentives to imprison people.
The private, for-profit prison corporations that donated millions to help Trump get elected are now reaping the profits.
This admin and ICE are funneling them billions of dollars in contracts to detain record numbers of immigrants — most of whom have no criminal record.
