“We will show you [proof] [of] these concentration camps . . . [that] will be disgusting and you will say I have robbed you of your sleep. But these are the things which have turned the stomach of the world and set every civilized hand against Nazi Germany.”

30 minutes. Some deportees described sexual assault. Detainee describes the guard sexually assaulting most detainees. Lights left on all day. Prisoners not given clean water.

Now the DHS tour. Nobody spoke to the detainees. Noem's video was in a different area of the prison.

👀 NASHVILLE COP TO TN TROOPER: “I don’t care who you are, touch me again I’m gonna lock you up.”

Speaker Sexton’s speeding (30mph over) detail refused to pull over, then got in the officer’s face. Our GOP supermajority thinks laws don’t apply to them.

These are concentration camps. No other way to describe them. Truly horrific, and none of it surprising in the least.

I've been reporting on the criminal justice system for over a decade and have lived in an authoritarian country overseas, but I've never seen anything like the police presence in ICE-occupied Memphis. Here's my dispatch: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Sadly the best news piece I’ve seen about Memphis recently was not by a local org. This is a good read though and was enough to get me to donate to Indivisible Memphis.

“I’ve lived here for a long time, and I’ve never seen so many police cars.”

ICE’s occupation in Memphis, the largest Black-majority city in the country, has reshaped daily life, turning grocery shopping into a mission that risks one’s family being torn apart.
