“Everybody has to have a hometown, Binghamton’s mine.”

nightmare country. I’m compelled by conscience to add that prisoners in the us are already treated like this and worse, daily; there’s escalation here but it’s from an already intolerable state of carceral excess.
Georgetown scholar Dr. Khan Suri, who was abducted by ICE, was refused food/water to break Ramadan fast, housed in a room without a bed, and issued *used* underwear.

His child cried for days after he was taken and has since stopped speaking.
