They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.

An astonishing figure in this piece:
Last year, the U.S. budgeted $12.8B for new affordable housing.
This country is now poised to spend $45B on immigrant detention centers.
That's nearly *four times* as much on cages as on homes—in the middle of a devastating housing and homelessness crisis.
