![A dark, textured background with deep red splatter-like patterns is overlaid with four horizontal strips designed to look like torn pieces of paper. Each strip contains a quote about conditions inside the California City ICE detention facility, with certain phrases emphasized in red.
Top quote (attributed to The New Yorker):
“[Detained people] described the California City facility as unique in its mistreatment of those held in its custody.”
Second quote (also attributed to The New Yorker):
Describes repeated reports from detained people of extremely delayed medical appointments, denial of medications and treatment, unsafe and unsanitary living conditions, and general antagonism by medical staff. The harms are highlighted in red text for emphasis.
Third quote (testimonial attributed to Gustavo, detained in California City, source: The New Yorker):
“They are acting as if everybody who’s here is gonna be deported. That’s why I think that they don’t want to spend any money on medication, because they figure we’re just gonna get sent to Mexico.”
The first part of the quote is highlighted in red.
Bottom statistic (attributed to KQED):
“Six people have died in custody this month alone, according to ICE. That comes on top of 32 deaths in 2025, the highest number in two decades.”
The numbers are emphasized in red.
Overall tone: urgent and somber, using stark color contrast and torn-paper styling to convey distress and expose reported harms.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:2dinscrhco524wtoswyuwt2y/bafkreidjxnjsfvk7hkdgwf6x32q4taddqzv74ypez75wnugj6jjhgxtwme@jpeg)

Again, this is FALSE. Administrative warrants are NOT signed by an immigration judge (or any judge at all). They are generated and signed by ICE officers themselves with no external oversight whatsoever.
