Everyone in ICE and Border Patrol is complicit. As are any people who do business with them, from supplying them with pepper spray to building their prisons to selling them masks.

An immigration judge denied them bond, citing “insufficient assets.” These children could remain in detention for years while their case is appealed.

New, from me: Defenders of police abuses will sometimes talk about “bad apples” spoiling the barrel.
