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.
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.
