    If I found a genie lamp, can anyone tell me a single reason why I shouldn’t wish every single ICE officer (including Noem) a sudden, drawn out, publically documented, and tortuously agonizing death?

    And by “drawn out”, I mean long enough to the point where people are watching them stumble around screaming in the streets while pointing and eating popcorn.

    Oh and somehow ambulance and hospitals somehow won’t be available to them.

    These will become impossible to deny as concentration camps. The regime must be prosecuted like Nuremberg. Let’s not forget that.

      I genuinely worry that trump will just drop dead before he faces justice for all the heinous shit hes done. He’ll die without facing any accountability for anything.

      The fact that he’s not rotting in prison for the rest of his life after 1/6 is such a fucking miscarriage of justice

        Hitler killed himself to avoid prosecution, that didn’t stop the prosecution of other people who participated or followed his orders.

    As of like a week ago, members of congress apparently have the right to conduct unannounced oversight visits to federal immigration detention facilities.

    Americans: call your Democratic member of congress and demand that they visit facilities such as this every single fucking day until conditions improve.

      Unfortunately Aurora CO has been in the news a lot over the years for a lot of bad reasons (movie theater shootings, Elijah McClain, and more recently with Tren de Aragua).

    All too typical: slave labor! Not much has really changed in the land of the free (white men).

    Edit: It seems that many US citizens are unaware of this, but this is nothing new in the States: the majority of prisons in the US are run as private enterprises (and yes, they do put people to work for almost nothing and not just since Trump), which for obvious reasons is not the case in any other democratic country - at least not to this extent and with this level of absurdity. It goes without saying that the insanely inflated ICE budget, which under Trump exceeds that of all other agencies, such as the FBI and CIA, many times over, essentially benefits MAGA collaborators such as the Geo Group, one of the largest private prison corporations. But hey, that’s just an added bonus that the orange pedo is giving his co-conspirators at the expense of US citizens, because the real goal is obviously to build a secret police force that is loyal only to him - and, as I said, it has a budget that dwarfs all other agencies, even combined.

    • A persistent failure to adequately treat inmates’ health issues with medicine beyond a single dose of Ibuprofen
    • A proliferation of diagnoses for serious mental health conditions like schizophrenia that inmates had never suffered from before *
    • An overall lack of sufficient calories and vegetables
    • Verbal and physical abuse by guards
    • Extreme temperatures
    • Forced labor

    * That’s the worst one IMO. They want to make these people disappear even if their fascist takeover does not go quite as planned. It’s planned. A failsafe. They go to the effort of “encouraging” doctors or even hiring those they know will do their bidding.

    "Guards allegedly refused to deliver food to sick people and would pay some detainees with a bag of chips for a day’s work. If the person refused, they would be sent to solitary, according to the report. "

    WTF!!!
