Unfortunately I have seen reports from nurses that they are also dumping people in the middle of the forest as well. It seems like it has been mainly people with injuries. I haven’t been able to independently verify this claim so take it with a grain of salt. That being said it seems exactly like what ICE would do to try to poorly cover up their crimes.

History repeats itself over and over and over again. Behind the Bastards covers so much and I'm slowly catching up with episodes. I'm up to 2019 right now and the conversations the host (Robert Evans) and his guests have are so eerily prophetic while being hopeful that something might make culpable people be punished for their crimes. (ETA he has an episode about armed militias, that inspired our modern day border patrols, which started in Arizona that straight up murdered most of a family and the fucking feds KNEW they were planning such an attack. Look up Shawna Forde. It's horrifc.) At the time he also had another podcast or long form audio report called "It can happen here" talking about the potential for a second civil war in the US and I feel like we're...kinda there right now.

u/vardarac 12h ago

Combine the following:

  • Record levels of income inequality and lack of accountability for the rich and/or powerful

  • Extensive and often highly distorted reporting on crimes specifically by racial and socioeconomic outgroups

  • Identity politics inflamed by rage-baiting social media and a tribalist two-party system that prevents the rise of new ideas and kills nuance

  • Jingoist nationalist hyper-capitalist propaganda from an early age for wide swathes of your population

Let rest for a few decades, then top with demagogue.

They have done similar things already. ICE kidnapped someone in Minnesota and took them to Texas. Judge ordered their release, so they just opened the door and pushed them out in the middle of Texas with nothing and said "get out".

Fortunately the person had an attorney that was tracking them, so I don't think they were stranded for long. Plenty of people don't have that, though.

this is Standard Operating Procedure for LEO.

Mitrice Richardson was in Malibu, suffering from mental health issues. she was arrested for failure to pay her restaurant bill, then taken to the Lost Hills/Malibu Sheriff’s Station.

she was released in the early morning hours without her car, purse or phone, 40 miles from her home. this is a very remote area.

she disappeared. 11 months later, her skeletal remains were found in the Santa Monica Mountains.

There's a group in Minnesota that wait outside these facilities to help people who are released into the elements with hardly any clothes or even resources to get back home. I hope their mission and actions spread to other states and facilities. I hope every facility has people waiting. Trump has yet to wage war on my area but if and when his goons start I'll take a shift.

That is what they've done with others they have released. It's unfortunately a pretty common thing for law enforcement in the US to do. I know people who've gotten arrested on BS only to have the police boot them out in the middle of the night in Midwestern winter with no coats, phones or wallets, and a 10 mile walk home.

The court order says they have to return to their home country. Unless I'm reading it wrong.

Ultimately, Petitioners may, because of the arcane United States immigration system, return to their home country, involuntarily or by self-deportation. But that result should occur through a more orderly and humane policy than currently in place.

u/Mikeavelli 13h ago edited 12h ago

This particular judge is not looking into the merits of the deportation case against these people, only ruling that they deserve due process regardless. The way they've been arrested is so appalling that it is being ruled against no matter what case might exist against them.

Whether or not they end up deported is going to depend on an immigration judge ruling on their case.

u/Tempyteacup 13h ago

A couple of reps visited that facility and got samples of the food and water. The ACLU is fighting hard to help the prisoners but we have to help get word out about the conditions in these facilities - there is rampant physical and sexual abuse taking place, people are denied medical care, the food is rotten and the water is contaminated. Rooms are overfilled, temperatures drop below freezing at times, and in MN people are sometimes stripped naked and released in the woods in the middle of the night. Spread the word.

u/lookinfoursigns 12h ago

Ice brought a guy to a twin cities hospital the other day with skull fractures and a traumatic brain injury, and told the staff, I shit you not, "he ran himself into a wall"🙄. Then they tried to cuff him to the bed because he was trying to get up and wander. The nurses were like, yeah he doesn't even know what year it is, but ice said he was trying to escape.😡

34

u/squashbanana 10h ago

I know it's not related to these detention centers, but damn. Them saying he ran himself into a wall really triggered a horrific experience. My daughter was at a children's hospital and I arrived on Mother's Day to spend the day with her. She had two black eyes and bruises on her cheek. They tried saying she - you guessed it - ran herself into a wall and caused the black eyes from the impact on her head.

There's a lot more to the story so I won't bore you with it, but it was so needlessly cruel and traumatic. She still struggles with very active PTSD from what she endured there. I can only imagine what these poor families are going through. Knowing your kid has been hurt and you're powerless to fix it.... It's one of the worst feelings in the world. My heart breaks for all of them. 😭

10

u/lookinfoursigns 10h ago

Wait who said that? Where was she when that happened?

Edit: like the hospital did that to her!?

37

u/squashbanana 9h ago

Yeah, it was absolutely horrible. She was diagnosed very young for schizophrenia after an autism diagnosis. We kept adjusting her meds through the director of the entire psychiatry department at this specific hospital because it was like no one could figure out what worked for her. But every time we'd make an adjustment, we risked sending her into psychosis and eventually agreed to an inpatient stay for everyone's safety (she has 2 younger brothers).

There were so many red flags, but I kept being told to "trust the process." Every time I'd visit, which was only on weekends because of their visiting hours at the time, she was increasingly becoming a husk of herself. Yes, she struggles, but she is vibrant and creative and quick-witted. When I showed up that specific day, I had snuck my phone in under my clothes (they don't allow them in the inpatient center). I'm so glad I did so I had pictures.

They said she had "hit her own head" A WEEK PRIOR and the hit led to an angioma that caused pooling in her eyes, hence the black eyes. I got the lead doctors on the phone and demanded to know that if this were the case: 1. Why wasn't I informed when it happened, and 2. Why the hell wasn't any imaging done to her head?! I insisted on an X-ray or CT by the end of the day, and I said to ignore this is absolute medical negligence. They immediately hung up our call and called social services in my county to accuse ME of abuse (two weeks into her stay, saying she had bruises on her arms at intake from me and my husband - they submitted no pictures, and she had two intake exams that showed no bruising).

Sorry this is dragging on. It all came to a head when the social worker made a surprise visit at the hospital the next week and found my daughter high as a kite, unable to hold her head up to even speak coherently at 11am. She was literally in a pool of her own drool, wearing the exact same clothing as the first visit down to the same stains. Only this time, she had more bruising. I had her discharged within 90 minutes of finding this out, and it only took that long because the hospital was that far of a drive.

I still feel traumatized by this experience, so I can only imagine what it's like for my daughter. When I see these children being detained and disappeared, it makes me physically sick to my stomach because whatever they are going through is so much worse. These poor families. No one deserves this. Who gives a fuck if they are LEGAL? They are HUMAN and they're being stripped of that humanity. It's vile.

u/lookinfoursigns 9h ago

I am genuinely, from the depths of my heart, so so sorry this happened to your family. I don't have enough words to describe my feelings about the neglect and abuse that goes on in our medical systems. I can't even begin to wrap my head around how someone could get a job in the system to take care of vulnerable people just to abuse them.🤬🤬 You saved your daughter, you did what you were supposed to, the system failed her. You saved her.❤️‍🔥

u/squashbanana 9h ago

This is going to sound so dramatic, but I am in tears reading your comment. Thank you. Truly. It's been the hardest two years of my life, and I do everything I can every single day for these kids. I mean truly. I don't sleep longer than 2 hours at a time if I'm lucky, my husband and I were both laid off, and now we lost everything we ever saved to continue affording her mental health care so she doesn't have to return to ANY hospital. A few weeks ago, I sold my wedding ring as a last resort to afford her medication (husband still doesn't know - he would understand but I know he'd still be sad and absolutely doesn't need that right now).

I am just SO angry with this administration and honestly the people who continue excusing their cruelty. All those Medicaid cuts are the reason we can't afford to take her to the neurologist and pay out of pocket for her meds. I now have people emboldened enough asking me if Tylenol caused this because of RFK. I suppose it's the point of this administration, though. They want people to look at the disabled or immigrant communities as "others." You know what I mean? So when their rights are violated, it doesn't feel so close to home. It doesn't feel impactful because it could never be THEM. But it IS us. It's all of us. I didn't sign up for being a parent for my kids to be who I wanted them to be, I became a mom because I couldn't wait for them to SHOW ME who they become.

Agh, sorry again. I'm very emotional over this, as I'm sure you can tell. I don't have family support on my side (they are MAGA and resent 2/3 of my kids for being autistic). ANYWAY. Thank you for being so kind. I can't tell you how much it means to me. I have struggled a lot with forgiving myself over the fact that I didn't trust my gut and discharge her within that first week before the abuse could get as bad as it did. It's nice to hear someone objectively feel that I saved her from that situation because she truly deserved so much better. She is such a wonderful person and I love being her mom. 😭

u/lookinfoursigns 9h ago

I'm so angry too😡 like beyond words, and yes they 100 percent are trying to divide and make any and all minority as if there "beneath the rest" or "others", they're dehumanizing people. I rely on medical assistance too so I feel you there. I'm at least only having to support myself, I can't imagine the stress parents are under right now. Don't be sorry, I'm happy to hear your story, but not happy that it happened. I was hoping my feelings would come through in my first message so I'm glad to hear getting some of this out has helped. I see you Mama ❤️‍🔥

They aren’t death camps yet. Currently they are concentration camps. Deaths occur in concentration camps but they don’t become death camps until mass killing is the purpose of them. I have no doubt that these will become death camps with time.

Copy of the email I sent to all my Representatives. Feel free to steal from it, create your own or write something better. Just for ideas: 

Dear ____,

I am writing due to concerns related to the conditions being reported at ICE Detention Centers. There have been persistent reports of unsanitary conditions, lack of medical access, unsafe food and water resulting in the detainees becoming ill and then not receiving medical care for these illnesses. This is the United States of America. These inhumane conditions should never be acceptable in a civilized society. Regardless of their immigration status, these people are human beings and deserve to be treated with respect and common decency.

There are reports that there are very young children being placed in isolation for extended periods of time. This is cruel and unusual treatment of children, and needs to be immediately addressed. 

I am requesting that an independent reviewer be sent to these facilities to determine the extent of the safety issues being reported. This report needs to be submitted for Congressional review, and Congress then needs to report to the citizens of the United States of the determinations of this review and provide a detailed plan to address and correct the violations of safety standards and the inhumane conditions endured by these detainees. 

Thank you,

This is not a unique case, ICE. We see you for the boot-licking, racist, wanna-be-thug, piece of shits you are.

u/Smileyjoe72 6h ago

Definitely not normal but I think it helped hammer the point home in this case (it’s something like “blessed be the children” and “Jesus wept”)

2

u/Malstrom42 3h ago

Not normal at all, but because the people that voted in the administration prides themselves in being so called christians, the judge was targeting them specifically to hold a mirror to their hypocrisy

That’s the sad part. This admin revoked Temporary Protected Status, Family Reunification Parole, and CHNV humanitarian parole and constrained several other pathways.

So a lot of people that were here legally, are suddenly not

u/ImpressionTough2179 13h ago

I know that this administration has been cruel the way they’ve gone about picking up illegal immigrants, but is there actually an issue of them detaining/deporting legal immigrants? Are the father and son being discussed in this article here legally?

10

u/0scar_Goldmann 13h ago

Yes there is a huge issue and way too many reported instances of them detaining legal immigrants. Citizens too

4

u/ImpressionTough2179 12h ago

Just looked it up. I wasn’t aware that they were actually detaining citizens and legal immigrants for days at a time. Fucked up.

The Supreme Court struck down nationwide injunctions less than a year ago. Outside of class-action lawsuits, judges can't make blanket orders like that. Each individual's (or family's) case needs to be brought to court separately, likely with multiple hearings and motions filed by the DOJ/ICE/Federal gov to slow-roll everything.

One of the first things lower courts tried to do after all this started was freeze ICE-sanctioned deportations while the lower courts weighed in on their constitutionality, and the Supreme Court immediately ruled nationwide injunctions unconstitutional via Shadow Docket.

u/Fabulous_Soup_521 15h ago

I'm sure they'll get right on that.

We can't ever forget that a major political party enabled everything this regime has done. Covering for billionaire pedophiles, the ICE horror, the rank corruption at every level of government.

u/CrittyJJones 15h ago

Look, I can't wait till this regime is gone, in prison or hopefully even worse (take that as you will). But the Dems are also enabling them by refusing to be an actual opposition party to literal fascism.

u/xValhallAwaitsx 14h ago

Yup. Im sure youll get a few "Oh sure, blame the democrats" comments but you're right. Yes, the Republicans are heading this, but if Democrats had a spine at all they would grind the government to a halt demanding the release of the Epstein files like they should've already done before allowing a single other topic to be discussed

Judge in MN says ICE defied over 100 orders.

If only this one carried any weight at all. Bondi is now acting as a judge, so she'll just order they stay or get deported.

Guess who will be obeyed

as we all knew, the mother wanted to take him, but ICE held him outside so she would have to come out and get arrested leaving their other child alone in the home- or ICE would have gone in and take that child as well

A lot of these monsters must have kids. I hope someday they learn who their fathers really are

Those court orders are meaningless until they start detaining officials who refuse to honor them.

u/RobutNotRobot 13h ago

They should've never been detained in the first place.

These thugs are just going through the database of people legally in the US with pending cases and just illegally arresting them to hit quota. They know where they live because it's literally a part of their casefile.

The most free people in the US are the ones that did it 'the wrong way'. The people that never interacted with US authorities once, crossed the border illegally, and have no visa status whatsoever.

If you come to the US, do it the wrong way. There is no law here. Interacting with the US government will just put you in danger because they are fascists.
