Serious medical and mental health emergencies have been routine at the nation’s largest U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facility since its opening, according to records obtained by The Associated Press.
Data and recordings from more than a hundred 911 calls at Camp East Montana in El Paso, Texas, along with interviews and court filings, offer a disturbing portrait of overcrowding, medical neglect, malnutrition and emotional distress.
Current and former detainees describe a camp where about 3,000 people have lived per day in loud and unsanitary quarters. They say detainees struggle to obtain health care as disease spreads, lose weight because of a lack of food, and fear security guards known to use force to put down disturbances.
If there is no due process served than these people are not detained. So that’s not a detention camp. It has a different name.
at ICE’s largest detention camp
Fark you, AP news. Call it what it is: a concentration camp.
‘Worse than a prison’: 911 calls, interviews reveal problems at ICE’s largest concentration camp
That’s because it’s a concentration camp not a prison.
Oh really? A detention center designed by a bunch of psychopathic Nazis is “worse than prison“? Who’d’ve thought??
Yeah, think this has been established. The more details we get from the kidnappees, the better, at least in my opinion. Has anyone from the press been allowed in with cameras to take any pictures? That’d probably (well, probably not, now that I think about it) shock the world into doing something about it.
I’m not implying that this is something that is normal and should be accepted as such. It’s just that it should be no surprise that these detention centers are basically concentration camps, considering those who are in charge of building them and running them.
And, yes, the more attention this gets, the better.
