The 4th year of the “State of Exception,” has led to more than 400 deaths among the 90k+ incarcerated in a massive arrest sweep by police+military, which includes the indefinite detention of political dissidents. El Salvador now has the highest incarceration rate in the world, even more than the US.

Sebastián Torogós will talk about the incredible challenges facing the people of El Salvador and the connection to their collective memory of the war years of the 1970s and ‘80s. The country is experiencing its most severe threats to democracy since the civil war ended in 1992.

Both Jones + his Deputy admit that ICE pods are where COs WANT to work bc the folks there don't cause problems. I wonder why? 🤔
Jones: “I don’t know."
CityBeat: "They’re being held civilly.”
He let his guard down, literally. Exposed his own lies about immigrants being dangerous, bad people.

Remember, it's CIVIL DETENTION.
No pillows. Probably no blankets. And not everyone gets underwear. WTH kind of place are they running?
"Outside" is a dungeon-style window.
People HAVE been made to shit + pee on themselves while waiting for video hearings. Good to know this won't happen again.
