Today, after months of requests, I toured the Broadview ICE Processing Facility. I want to share what I saw.
The facility has no food vendor, no medical care, and detainees have to use toilets in the middle of shared cells. These are in no way suitable conditions to be holding anyone — period.

We are posting this placard at all of our offices and asking our union contract farms to post as well.
We encourage our friends to put up similar placards at their business as immigration agents do not have the right to go on private property without permission.

As it turns out, it wasn’t about the fentanyl.
It never was.
It’s all about the racism, xenophobia, isolationism, and nationalism.
That’s what fuels MAGA.

It's hard to adequately describe how scary it is to watch mainstream political journalists barely push back against a sitting U.S. president accepting a $400M plane from a foreign government that would literally be designated as an emergency command-and-control center during a nuclear war.
