Across the country, 10 people have died in ICE custody since January.
I think at this point we can characterize it as killing. ICE is killing people.
Out of curiosity, if they weren't mistreating people, what would the expected number of deaths be given the total number of people-days of detention since January?
It reminds me of nazi Germany.
Killing people in their death camps, too.
We are all being killed on this glorious day.
The United States government is killing citizens and residents it deems undesirable. ICE is just the bullet.
Before that it was DHS, FBI, various police sheriff's departments. It's just escalating and will continue to do so.
How many do you think have died in the El Salvadorean gulag
the complete silence about everyone else who was deported there is the scariest fact.
the media just forgot about them, they latched on one person and the rest are forgotten. they will likely never see the lights of day.
Because they're invisible now.
We sent reporters over there and now those reporters are threatened against speaking up.

No, he didn’t just magically and coincidentally “die”.
This was murder. We must never forget what is happening right now and we must never forgive any accomplice. Someday, they will be held accountable. Never forgive or forget the terror, slavery, torture, deprivation of human rights, and murder enacted by this administration and its accomplices.
two possibilities, both likely (at the same time).
a) Ice does not provide basic necessities to live, like food/water/restrooms/access to emergency healthcare... and people will die.
b) there are so many people detained that it is statistically likely people will die of natural causes (you dont become immortal just because you're detained.
most likely both of those options at the same time.
They don't have that many yet. They have less than most major colleges I'm pretty sure.
more thoughts and prayers? they'll certainly work this time
Hey, less scepticism more thinking and praying! ICE won't "be held accountable" by themselves!
I rather see more thinking and acting from my American friends
The sad thing is I don't think it will be the USA putting them to trial. It'll be other nations that are picking through the rubble or individual governments after the united states balkanizes. Maybe I'm too pessimistic about things but I just don't see a way we get out of this whole.
Without process, kidnapped in the streets, courtrooms and homes to be killed in detention. How can you accept this from your own country? The USA needs a revolution
Edit: I am very happy and would never consider suicide
It's been so great the last 10 years saying "this is what will be happening because the neo-nazis are taking over" and everyone telling me I'm overreacting, I'm being hyperbolic, I'm exaggerating or my favorite "you're just being dramatic"
Remember, THERE'S NO WAY they'd overturn Roe v Wade.
It's really a very small consolation that one can now actually go "fucking told you so."
Yep. But I hate saying I told you so
So , welcome to miami
I hate the situations in which I have to say "I fucking told you so", but I do love saying "I fucking told you so."
Petty, I know.
Remember those FEMA camps the right wing were going on about? Projection.
The crazy people were/are right.
This isn't a post making calling you crazy...
...The crazy people are actually right. Knowing parts of the truth makes them crazy.

Jesus christ, if this is what's making it to the news, imagine what is being covered up.
There are children and adults fighting for water in one of the detention. So yeah.
skullfuck all the assholes who did this
metaphorically, of course, in adherence to all of lemmy's various tos
Republicans call him a criminal. Crossing the border has a criminal act, so that’s all they need for justification.
Don't they have a criminal as a president?
Doesn't count cuz it's fake obviously.
No that's literally the thought process.
“Criminal” in the same way as jaywalking.
It's not even criminal, it's a misdemeanor
CRIMES HAVE BEEN COMMITTED!!!
Kristi Noem is a Ku Klux Kunt.
...f*cking balls-out cartoon fascists...
Land of the free.
I feel so much safer now.
What a scourge he must have been /s
Was he one of the Cubans mad that his family lost their slaves and plantations? And voted for Trump?
Would that make it okay for ICE to abduct him without due process and kill him?
Keep in mind you’re talking about someone who came to the US as a 15 year old child.
Nobody deserves that.
That said, cubans overwhelmingly support the old orange doofus.
Disfruta lo votado.

Of course not but it's important context for people who don't know why a good chunk of Cuban Americans vote Republican.
