Last weekend, the first protests took place on the access road to the facility, and dozens of people made clear their rejection of the “inhumane conditions” at Krome, which have recently come to light. Outrage began to grow precisely with the news of the death of Maksym Chernayak, a 44-year-old Ukrainian who was in the country thanks to the humanitarian parole program, on February 20. As that news broke, so did the death of Genry Ruiz Guillén, a 29-year-old Honduran, who had died on January 23. Both died in the custody of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and had been detained at Krome before being transferred to a hospital where they could not be saved. Details of each case are limited — in that of Ruiz Guillén, there isn’t even an official cause of death — and family members and lawyers are trying to clarify the sequence of events that led to the loss of life to determine whether the deaths could have been prevented.

Suspicions about possible irregularities in the protocols are not unfounded. Florida immigration lawyers have known about Krome’s notorious status for years, although the current situation is clearly different. Speaking to a local television station, immigration attorney Katie Blankenship said she would never be able to erase the images of women held at Krome — which began admitting female detainees more than 20 years after an investigation into sexual abuse by guards in 2000. “Every time I walked in there, there was literally a group of women with no room to move, banging on the window, pleading, because they saw someone who wasn’t an agent. They saw that I was a lawyer and said, ‘Please help us. Please help us. Please help us.’” Blankenship adds that her clients — whom she now meets in separate rooms as the meeting rooms have become collective cells for dozens of people — are sleeping in the bathrooms: “Their faces are literally under the toilet.”

At least 2 people—29 and 44 yo—have died while detained at Krome ICE prison near Miami.

The facility is so overcrowded people are sleeping in the bathrooms: “Their faces are literally under the toilet.”

Republicans and Trump's nominees are pushing for Medicaid work requirements.
They think people are mooching off the system.

But 64% of people on Medicaid already have a job. Most others that don't have a valid reason.

It's a solution in search of a problem that doesn't exist.

Do you ever get the feeling that Earth gravity is...a bit much? Tripping and falling should not be as big of a deal as it is.

Over 100 refugees who were scheduled to be resettled in Indiana have seen their flights canceled in the last two days. Refugees make our state stronger, and the bipartisan support for U.S. refugee resettlement has been a pillar of our nation for over a century.

My eye started twitching yesterday afternoon and I didn’t know why. I hadn’t even looked at the news yet on what was going down yet…but my nervous system knew.

I’ve caught myself scratching my nose with my middle finger and stopped myself because even though I wasn’t flipping people off, I didn’t want it to appear that way. So, I think most intelligent people would avoid a “roman salute” on national tv for that very same reason.

I can’t recommend “The Piano Lesson” enough. On Netflix. Watch it. Important and profound.
