The ICE Facility in Phoenix you probably didnβt know existed
Phoenix ICE detention facility at Mesa airport holds immigrants for extended periods without basic amenities
And obviously it goes without saying but these inhumane facilities always hold people longer than they claim they will. AROCC is designed for a 12-hour hold and people have been held for over a month in these cages:

Like the proposed concentration camp in Surprise, Camp East Montana was designed as a βshort-termβ processing center. It became the deadliest camp in less than a year. A man died in agony from a tooth infection in Florence days ago. The warehouse projects will be hell on earth and must be stopped.

Turning Point Action:
Alliance of Sovereign Nations
MARCH 4 - 6
WASHINGTON D.C.
The Alliance of Sovereign Nations will bring together business, political, academic, and other societal leaders from around the world for an impactful and informative event focused on issues affecting the world.
[Turning Point Action logo]
MISSION STATEMENT
The nation-state is fundamental to international partnership, prosperity and peace. It provides the essential bedrock of freedom and self-government. The byproduct is economic opportunity and therefore security. Every country has a rightful obligation to defend its sovereignty and put their interests first. The world is more stable when each nation prioritizes its people's interests.
Likewise, the United States will advance our interests first, while encouraging other nations to do the same. We stand for the sovereign rights of nations, against the authoritarian overreach of transnational institutions, and for reforming global organizations so that they respect national identity and help-not hinder-the innate interests of freedom-seekers everywhere.
TPUSA (Action) is hosting a new annual D.C. event over the next few days called Alliance of Sovereign Nations. Featured guests include some truly awful U.S. officials like Randy Fine, Eli Crane, and Mike Johnson and also members of the far-right Freedom Party of Austria and Alternative for Germany.
