They’re making people eat like dogs, not allowing them to clean toilets covered in feces, and that’s just the beginning.
And yet, it somehow keeps getting worse. A stomach-churning report from Human Rights Watch released on Monday detailed some of the horrific abuses that US government employees and contractors have put these people through. It’s not just the overcrowding and the inhumane and unhygienic conditions — it’s also the abuse, neglect and degradation from the ICE officers and staff themselves.
The report is focused on just three severely overcrowded Florida detention centers operated by ICE — Krome North Service Processing Center (Krome), the Broward Transitional Center (BTC), and the Federal Detention Center (FDC).
. . . On top of way, way too many feces-related horrors, detainees have also been denied medication and denied medical care to the point that it has caused severe illness or injury — often while being mocked by ICE officers.
After two days, she started vomiting green bile. She started to lose consciousness, and we were yelling for help. It took two hours to get the officers’ attention, and then another 20 minutes before they took her to the hospital. There, doctors removed her gallbladder. They brought her back to the cell in Krome within two days.
A man with undetectable HIV was denied his medication for so long that it ultimately became detectable. Detainees with diabetes were denied insulin. A prisoner with asthma who required an inhaler was told, by a doctor, that “no one over 18 has asthma” (23 million adults in the US have asthma). After that man started coughing up blood, his treatment only got worse.
They’re nazis.
You can tell by the Concentration Camps.
I truly wish the fucking worst for all ICE agents.
They are getting ICE accustomed to dehumanizing and abusing others. This is practice for with they decide to do it for you and I.
Almost like you should prevent it from getting to that point.
These people are the human equivalent of trash. ICE is a scourge on this earth and should be abolished. Nothing good has come from having ICE around.
They’ve starved the working class to the point that no one can afford to miss a single paycheck. This is effective population control.
Damn, the US is starting to look like it’s being invaded by the US, did they find more oil somewhere?
Guess It was only a matter of time until the Freedom Military Complex ran out of other countries to invade.
It’s the Imperial Boomerang effect. Countries develop and use oppressive techniques overseas, then eventually they find their way back home.
Foucault’s Imperial Boomerang is my favorite level 3 spell
Hey, America- you’re 3 weeks into this place being open and we’re already reading the line “way too many feces-related horrors.”
Maybe try something that’s a little more threatening than bringing meme signs to a parade. Or, I guess, just get defensive about how you’re doing all you can and remain absolutely complicit in this garbage.
These people WILL be Nuremberg’d. Guess how harsh the punishments are when we considered ICE a form a treason in and of itself?
Germany was a broken country when it fell to Nazism. They were quite thoroughly demilitarized before kicking things off. While it was impressive what they were able to pull out of a hat as far as war materiel goes, it was ultimately failing logistics that killed them.
The US is one of the strongest economies in the world, in spite of what orange man is doing. We have sizeable oil reserves, unlike Germany. We have ten times the weapons that the next 10 military powers have combined. We are separated from our biggest adversaries by oceans, which we own by virtue of having 10 times the naval vessels.
I’m not sure an antifascist victory is guaranteed, at least in the short term.
Don’t act like “it can’t happen here”.

And mostly a service economy, which is of limited use at war. You can repurpose a data center for spreading propaganda - who is winning that war again today? - you can’t retool it to make drones or shells.
By the way, the biggest, 70% market share drone manufacturer is Chinese. One million drones per year manufactured, 400000 large agricultural drones in use worldwide. Russia, which let’s say isn’t the GDP powerhouse of the world, launches 5k drones per month in Ukraine now.
US manufacturers deal in thousands of units per year manufactured.
We have ten times the weapons that the next 10 military powers have combined.
Russia had a truly bonkers amount of tanks, and they got blown apart by modern weapons. They lost more tanks than the entire US tank stockpile, twice over if you believe the Ukrainians, but even the low estimates are higher than the US stockpile number.
We are separated from our biggest adversaries by oceans, which we own by virtue of having 10 times the naval vessels.
Ukraine, a nation with no navy, rules the Black Sea with drones. You could say that the Russian navy was incompetent in leadership and/or manpower, but which peer enemy has the US Navy fought since 1945, and did it not lose two fighter jets in a single month by them just tipping overboard in maneuvers against a bunch of rebels with no navy or significant weaponry?
Also, the US has 8900 km of land borders, to nations it has just threatened with invasions. What if the US really invades Canada? Do you think a battered Canadian government would think twice about accepting Chinese aid for example? What if such aid comes in the form of an army outnumbering the US army multiple times?
I’m not trying to repeat “the US is doomed” tankie agitprop, but shit is changing fast, and a really terribly shit leadership is absolutely capable of sinking it. Even without a war by the way. You guys look like the Balkans looking from the outside in.
There’s no reason to think that WW3 is necessary for this regime to fall.
Progress on any kind of internal resistance thus far has not been promising.
Getting awfully close to just outright executing those detainees. That’s a ton of dehumanization.
If there was someone who took it upon themselves to luigi these vile, diseased beasts, they’d be hailed as the saint, patriot, and hero they are.
Fuck you, Ruben. I’ll make sure everyone here knows you voted for this fascists shit. You dont get to hide behind a jackass logo and pretend you aren’t doing harmful shit.
