The federal judge found that DHS & ICE βdisplayed a βprotracted failure even to care,ββ which constituted βdeliberate indifferenceβ towards the suffering of residents at Grayβs Landing.
This is a step towards accountability. DHS & ICE violated the Constitution when they gassed Portlanders in their homes.

Bad things on my mind this week:
-another war in the Middle East
-βjust one more lane will fix the trafficβ
-studded tires
-giving public dollars to billionaires, no strings attached
-paying taxes outside of tax payment systems
-no enforcement for license plate-less cars on our roads

The overhang above the front door has the typical light fixtures but also what looks like a faux Christmas tree sitting there alone, with fake snow on it.
Does anyone know or have a guess as to why ICE put a Christmas tree looking thing on top of their flat roof? Itβs a new addition to the facility this weekβ¦ curious if this is allowed under city code or could be dangerous to folks passing byβ¦
