What country are we living in that we can treat humans this way? Certainly NOT the country my father fought for and taught me to love

One of the cynical elements that insulates such facilities from accountability is the ICE refusal to name or charge those who are being detained. This interrupts family contact, legal representation and even shields false arrest and mistreatment. Reps should be scheduling visits every day and reporting in hearings.

It's a police state with an imoral, ingumane, psycopath holding the reigns of power.

Thank you for this information. It is only a matter of time before an epidemic breaks out. The unsanitary conditions, close contact, poor nutrition and mosquito borne diseases are going to make both prisoners, staff and family members of the staff ill.

Desantis, Noem, and anyone else linked to the concentration camp must be arrested, tried and sentenced to life in prison for human rights violations!

What crimes have they been convicted of? Have they been given due process? What dept convicted them? Where do they go from here?

Anything from existing while not white to actual serious crimes. No, but they technically have access to their lawyer, though the phones are on and off at random times making it really hard to contact anyone. None. I wish we knew.

I am not seeing anything about what is happening with women and children. Where are they going? What is happening to the children? Are they detained, deported, or put in our crappy foster system?

I don't know. They're not in this facility, that's all we know.

This is a tragedy. From this report, I understand that minors are being caged with adults. This is trauma upon trauma. Research shows that when minors are locked up with adults there are always tragic consequences.

Why are minors being rounded up at all?

I encourage Frost to investigate this thoroughly.

There is considerable research that documents the grievous effects of this treatment for the minor as well as the adult.

Any expert in juvenile justice will confirm locking up a minor with adults as harmful and mostly disallowed.

I'm writing this from Germany. I'm a pastor over here. Last week, in my sermon I spoke of this concentration camp containing Prisoners in cages within tents in an area with an average humidity of close to 100% and temperature around 32 Celsius. I used it as an example of how people can claim they are Christians (as do Pres.Trump, Kristi Noem and Marco Rubio) and at the same time mock God by doing something so immoral and inhumane. They are playing with God's judgement. God will not be mocked. People who do this will reap what they sow. And the world is watching.

Not every time this has happened in history has that been the end result. Things are bad enough as they are, can we focus on that?

Don’t you mean the continuation of Hitler’s Nazi Germany? It began prior to the attack on the Capitol on January 6, 2021! Those refusing to believe what is happening, wake up!

Terrific reporting. This will help turn the tide, as the camp appears to be the gulag it is, tropical style. We need to keep the glare of investigation right there, as much as we can.

So, why don't they drag any Republican Congresspeople there and have them tell THEM to their faces that they can't go in??
