hey so the government kidnapped a nail salon owner from Hagerstown at her routine ICE appointment in Baltimore, trafficked her to 3 states, lied to a judge by saying they'd deport her in the"reasonably foreseeable future", yet made zero effort to actually deport her
really cool country we got going
NEWS: Hagerstown nail salon owner freed after five months in ICE custody. A federal judge ruled that U.S. officials had no basis for prolonging Melissa Tranβs detention.

Wait times are up because the American healthcare system is an unsustainable business model and a for-profit national healthcare system just doesnβt work.

Their waists and hands were tied together, forcing them to bend down and lick water to drink. The unscreened bathrooms contained only a single sheet to cover their lower bodies. Sunlight barely penetrated through a fist-sized hole, and they were only allowed access to the small yard for two hours. Detained by US immigration authorities for eight days, the workers and their families expressed shock, describing human rights violations and absurdities they could not have imagined as ordinary Koreans living in 2025.
korean reporting is nightmarish on the conditions Korean workers were contained in
