What kind of sick, horrific conditions are children being forced to endure in there?

Bless you and bless Diana and all the children in ICE detention.

Democracy dies in oligarchy.
So, so tired of all the "news" about the Idiot-in-Chief and his immigrant wife. Let's ignore them both and maybe they will go away.

ICE has no jurisdiction over Native Americans.
Theyโre not breaking any laws. Thereโs nowhere to deport them to. They were here first.
Theyโve been kidnapped.
Chart shows Gestapo versus aiCE officers and how similar they are.
Both are so evil, and ICE at least is getting recorded.

For them and the Democratic leadership who lived through such chaos and no doubt continue to carry the scars within. We will not forget.
