This cannot stand. Shut down the camps NOW. Hold them accountable.
This is a human rights violation.
Multiple detainees described a disturbing incident where dozens of men were forced to eat food they had been denied all day while shackled.
“We had to bend over and eat off the chairs with our mouths, like dogs,” — from a new Human Rights Watch report.

People in ICE concentration camps are forced to kneel to eat food off plates “like dogs”, held on unsanitary buses in parking lots for more than 24 hours, crammed for weeks in freezing intake rooms where they sleep on the floor, and denied adequate medical care.
This is a human rights crisis.
