the stories that come out of the ICE camps are going to look like the stories that come out of every camp system; rampant corruption, epidemic disease, physical and sexual abuse on a vast scale, a death rate far higher than normal, and medical abuses.

Wilmer only found out his son had been detained after receiving a phone call on March 15 from his nephew, Luis, who lives with them. That morning was their last time together; they had gone around the corner to do their laundry. Later that day, Wilmer said that his son met with a friend to get help with some errands at the American Red Cross. He learned this from Luis, who looked at the situation from inside the apartment: when his son was on his way back, just steps from his home when ICE agents stopped him. βThe officers grabbed him and two other boys right at the entrance to our building. One said, βNo, heβs not the one,β like they were looking for someone else. But the other said, βTake him anyway.'β
That moment marked the beginning of Wilmerβs search for answers β answers heβs still waiting for.
One of hundreds of people abducted by ICE and sold to slavery in El Salvador was a 19 year old with no criminal record in the US or Venezuela and no tattoos of any kind.
An ICE kidnapper who grabbed him outside his house said, "He's not the one."
The other said, "Take him anyway."
So they did.

If the U.S. government is going to take the position that, once removed from the United States, folks canβt be brought back, then it sure seems to me that federal courts should be reflexively and categorically barring *all* removals until theyβre 100 percent certain that the removals are lawful.
