The reports of ICE cruelty, abuse, torture and deaths are shocking. How much longer will you permit these CRIMES? Will it take a pogrom? or the discovery of a mass grave? What will it take get Congress to stop funding this moral abomination? ICE has just released new Detention Regulations that Benefit For-Profit Prison Companies. Yes: there is a perverse incentive to detain the ice kidnap victims. ICE has also been accused of human rights violations and torture by UN as well as HRW. The ICE violations of court orders and habeas corpus are monstrous. Why are you tolerating this criminal activity? Detention of children is child abuse. No children should be detained. The conditions at Delaney and Dilley are unacceptable and would not be permitted for war criminals. Meanwhile because ICE agents don't wear identification, fake ICE agents are terrorizing immigrants--weho could have guessed that allowing masked agents to kidnap people off the street would inspire violent assaults by impersonators? The death rate inside ICE immigrant detention centers has more than doubled under Trump, according to a Reuters analysis. At the same time, ICE announced it will no longer investigate or report the deaths of those recently released from detention centers. Unimaginable cruelty. I could go on. You are FUNDING a system that detains more people than Hitler did. Dissolve ICE. Hold it accountable
