Thanks for this piece, Nick. I’ve read very little about the treatment of detainees. I’m not naive about what goes on inside the prison industrial complex. But it seems like the immigration detention complex is yet another level of hell. The vast majority of these people have never committed a crime, and yet there they are. Convicted criminals know the lengths of their sentences. These poor souls have no idea how long they’re going to be held, or what tomorrow will bring. The only constant is being subjected to unending cruelty, racism and the threat of being sent to the hole. What kind of person enjoys doing this to innocents?

This just not acceptable. These are some of the worst people treating immigrants and in some cases American citizens like trash. It takes a vile hateful person in signing up for these ICE jobs and going along with the program. I hope I live to see the day when these despicables are held accountable for the people who were violently mistreated or who died while in detention.

It won’t happen! Look how Trump let Jan 6 violators free. I understand many ov them are ICE officers now by trumps own admission

Trump is sickly and will not be around forever. He does not care for anyone. He only pardons those that pay him off or provide something that enables his administration to continue.
