Mark my words, someday the people who have been dumped in these places, under horrible conditions, are going to seek revenge -- and who could blame them? We've been the world's bully for far too long and now we're turning on our own residents.
Disgusting.
Disgusting.
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.
