Neuralink implanted ICE detainees WITHOUT CONSENT - investigate IMMEDIATELY In July 2025, Elon Musk announced that Neuralink needs to scale from 7 brain implants to approximately 1,000 implants by the end of 2026. That’s 993 additional people over roughly 15 months. About 60 patients per month receiving experimental brain surgery. Given the pace at which they completed those first seven implants, this timeline feels not just ambitious but nearly impossible. Unless, of course, you’ve solved some very specific problems about recruitment. Neuralink has FDA approval for two sites in the United States. The first is at the Barrow Neurological Institute in Phoenix, Arizona. The second is at the University of Miami in Florida, which houses a major neurological research program. Both cities have something else in common: massive ICE detention facilities nearby. Miami has the notorious Krome Detention Facility, the primary intake center for detained immigrants in South Florida. From December 2024 to February 2025, there were three deaths at Krome. One per month. All involved neurological symptoms: brain hemorrhages, seizures, vomiting. One of them was Maksym Chernyak. He was 44 years old, Ukrainian, and here legally on humanitarian parole after fleeing the war. According to his wife, he had no pre-existing health conditions. He wasn’t on any medications. He had passed medical screenings before being paroled into the United States. Sixteen days after arriving at Krome, he was dead from a massive brain hemorrhage. The CT scan showed catastrophic intracranial bleeding. Sixteen days from intake to brain death. A healthy man in his forties. No explanation that anyone’s offered publicly. The kind of thing that, under different circumstances, might warrant investigation. The kind of thing that makes you wonder what else isn’t being investigated. Phoenix presents a different pattern. Near the Barrow Neurological Institute, you’ll find major ICE facilities at Eloy and Florence. According to advocacy reports, the average time spent in solitary confinement at these Arizona facilities jumped from 14 days in 2024 to 38 days in 2025. That’s a 271% increase. Thirty-eight days is a long time to be alone. Long enough that if something happened to you, if you woke up with gaps in your memory or unexplained symptoms, it would be difficult to establish when or how. Long enough that confusion could be dismissed as the natural result of isolation. Long enough to make a person wonder if their own memory is reliable. Using the USASpending.gov website and investigating further, the Drey Dossier identified another potential site in Honolulu (see https://open.substack.com/pub/thedreydossier/p/who-tf-is-in-my-head-part-1-the-neural?utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web ) which is consistent with the beginning of detainee transfer from Florida and Arizona detention facilities to Hawaii. Please conduct oversight and immediately investigate - the president appears to be using Elon Musk as his Dr. Joseph Goebbels.
