Why do they keep saying this is suicide? And until these private detention centers allow regular oversight visits by elected officials, every death is potentially murder.
Keep this story in the news.

Questions:
1) Who are these "ICE agents"?
2) What is their law enforcement background?
3) Are they, in effect, bounty hunters? Do they receive a bonus for every arrest?
4) Why are they masked?
5) Who told them to wear masks?
6) Have they been encouraged to be violent? If so, by whom?

I just left the Everglades Immigrant Interment Camp. No, I’m not using their ridiculous name. It was a very tough to witness humans in those cages. Every Floridian should be ashamed that our taxpayer money is being used for this.

WTF?!? Border Czar Tom Homan claimed that ICE and Border Patrol agents don’t need probable cause to detain people they suspect are undocumented, saying they can do so based on factors like physical appearance. This is straight-up racial profiling, not law enforcement.

If we had a functioning fourth estate every single television news program and news paper would be asking sitting members of Congress how they feel about the arrest and treatment of Senator Padilla.

Did Trump’s FBI just arrest a sitting U.S. Senator—at a Kristi Noem press conference?
🚨 BREAKING: MSNBC is reporting California Senator Alex Padilla was shoved from the press conference and handcuffed.
This isn’t okay. Everyone should be alarmed by this!

The assault and arrest of a sitting US SENATOR (Senator Alex Padilla) is a RED LINE! Call your senators office to demand they stand up against this!

Wonder how many masked ICE squad members are pardoned J6 insurrectionists, Proud Boys, 3 Percenters, KKK, etc. I think that might be quite the Venn diagram.

when they hire a 22 year old to lead the domestic terrorism unit of DHS, it tells you they're going to turn a blind eye to domestic terrorists. Hands off militias, bombers and shooters. I bet they pardon the next Timothy McVey.

Rep. Julie Johnson to Noem: "Are you aware that ICE agent jackets are available on Etsy for $20? Anybody can throw a mask on and run around and terrorize people of color without any regard for the law because your agency does not have proper protocols to make sure your agents are clearly identified"

Be on guard against Newspeak. Avoid repeating Newspeak phraseology like "DEI". People. Hardworking people of color, women, gays and other minorities. American workers. Historically disadvantaged groups. To repeat their language, even in protest, reinforces it. Fight the drift. #newspeak
