Does anyone have more information about this prison camp in Dilley,Texas? I learned about it on @maddow.bsky.social tonight. I’m in New Orleans, but have been looking into the disgusting number of detention centers in remote parts of our state. I guess we’re in a sick race with TX for most inhumane

@maddow.bsky.social - Any shot we might have a task force snatch Steven Miller & put him on trial somewhere? 🤷🏻♀️- I mean. . 🙄 I bet he’d give up a LOT of dirty deed info on his dear leader if he was scared. Actually, folks like him & the war dude fall apart in isolation pretty quick. #CallTheUN!

If this is actually real (I haven’t searched for additional confirmation) , it’s disgusting abuse & I hope someone’s working to identify the ICE agents.
This has to stop. We have criminal gangs being paid by our government to steal food from families on Christmas Eve-. Seriously? #shameful

ICE detain father shopping on Christmas Eve—then steal his family's groceries.
Then 3 agents divvy up his paid for food—taking what they want for themselves.
"Can I just get the wife's number to call and let her know?" woman asks.
"No, guess he should've complied," agent says.

Do we want our daughters running down the street from masked men who MIGHT be ICE? This administration doesn’t go after criminals- they just want a head count. Someone’s getting paid to hold these people- from babies to the elderly.

@maddow.bsky.social - PLEASE do one of your wonderful deep dives into the booming for-profit prison industry!
Why’s anyone mystified by this pressure to ‘hit numbers’ incarcerating non-violent people? THEY HAVE A PER HEAD VALUE.
As long as they’re ‘held’ it’s per night. Makes me sick. Please 😔

Aren’t you sick of seeing this crap? Don’t you want your country to stop this? Do those look like gang members? The person HALF of this country elected doesn’t care about ANY OF US- the economy doesn’t affect him- never has. This is unchristian. This is inhumane. This destroys our nation.
