New Hampshire backed off their building an ICE facility thank god. On the first day of the next Democratic presidential term they need to shudder all these facilities like their Alcatraz.

Thanks Adrian - I hope we can keep the stories of people being sent to these "camps" front and center bc as you've written - no one likes this policy!

If we all grab the nearest corner of the problem and tug, we'll move it.

I’m so heartened to hear of the efforts on behalf of Big Bend, my first and still favorite national park. It is isolated and a long drive from anywhere else and until recently was the least visited national park in the US. Those letters were from love for a park that has always been dear to Texans.

I do hope that as more and more becomes known about conditions for detained immigrants in these inhumane warehouses, we will see the same outpouring of love for those who suffer, no matter their countries of origin. Hey, we have the Pope on our side.

Good to see people standing up all over the country, even in the Texas and Georgia.

Now we need to convert that energy into a full and public trial for the law breaking by the likes of Jonathan Ross, Raymundo Gutierrez, Jesus Ochoa, and the killers of Ruben Ray Martinez and Keith Porter. And their superiors who helped create these American Death Squads who thought they were immune to will of We The People as embodied in the Bill of Rights.

We saw the metaphorical mask slip when they put the real masks on and thought no one could stop them. But the American people are a proud, brave, and free people who don't take kindly to being pushed around by government thugs.

They hate us for our freedom, which is why we cannot let this slide. A sacred covenant of our civic religion has been broken, and our Constitution has been trampled by wannabe Secret Police. We The People must show them why underestimating us was such a serious error. Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but they will face justice for the laws they've broken.

We won't easily forget, there's no statute of limitations for murder, and state crimes can't be pardoned by your hairspray Caesar.

My favorite version of that is "From your thumbs to God's feed"

I long for the day that Mike Johnson, John Thune and company can be sent to Dilley without due process to spend several months enjoying lock down there

Who is looking into the safety of girls and women in these camps? I cannot imagine what the incels in face gaiters are capable of.

I’ve heard that pregnant teenage girls are being segregated with NO visitation. God only knows what trauma they’re dealing with.

There have been numerous women and young girls taken to the hospital, where doctors determined they had been raped. No word on investigations, etc...
