1. Marching won't do anything. When do we start impeachment hearings?

[Duppers]

6. Exactly!

While Congress twiddles their thumbs, hoping the American people will wake up by whatever means (osmosis?), babies, kids, and people are dying!


Start impeachment hearings now! Educate the damn public.

[jpak]

2. Fucking nazis

Lock them up.

[gtar100]

3. Our fellow Americans hard at work.

Do we always have to hire such assholes for positions in our security departments? Must be willing to be cruel and inhumane...job requirement. May they receive in equal measure what they give.

[Initech]

4. Fuck! This nightmare can't end soon enough!!!

[Leghorn21]

5. Where is even one whistleblower, from ICE, BP or the workers in these camps? Can't the FBI or

whoever go undercover and bring these atrocities into broad daylight??

These camps are virtual black holes, and whoever goes in seems to disappear from the face of the earth

It's great to see these stories of torture and wanton cruelty appearing now on an almost daily basis, please please, keep them coming, let's rip the lid of these trump/miller shitholes ASAP-STAT-NOW

NOW

[Evolve Dammit]

7. Excellent questions. This is revolting. And yet the average "American" just ignores it.

Fat and happy with a flat screen and a bag of chips. Could care less. This is what we've become as a nation.

[Initech]

11. To quote Bill Hicks: "Go back to bed, America. Your government is in control".

Here, here's a bag of Doritos, a 250% caffeinated energy drink and a flat screen TV. Watch Holey Moley and get fat and stupid. Don't mind that Trump is running concentration camps on the Mexican border.

[Evolve Dammit]

29. No moral compass and happy to be ignorant. What do you do with a majority that doesn't care??

[Initech]

30. Wish I knew the answer to that!

Trump is going to bring the second coming of the holocaust and no one will care enough to stop it. People will be too distracted by their reality show crap and cell phones to notice.

[Evolve Dammit]

31. I fear you are right and I hope we're both wrong. Thanks. Millions of us at this point.

[Leghorn21]

14. Yeah, Evolve, this is a dire situation, and has been for quite some time.

Do you remember hearing about ICE spokesman James Schwab last June? He not only quit ICE, refusing to lie for them anymore, but when he was giving an interview in his home about a week later, KNOCK KNOCK, ICE agents came to his door.

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/former-ice-spokesman-james-schwab-opens-up-about-resignation-trump-administration/

A google finds no more news of him

One reason I was backing Avenatti was he promised to bring forward ICE whistleblowers - OH WELL, dammit

I think ICE, BP and their minions bully and intimidate all the little workers who staff these hellholes, and these people are - rightfully- terrified of them.

Southwest Key supplies workers to the camps...tons of workers...and not one of them has come forward to drop a dime on the conditions in these shithole camps - why?

I’ve been wondering since Jan. 20 of 2017, “Who will tell ICE to stand down?”

This is - yeah. A really dire situation

[Evolve Dammit]

28. Thanks for that information. This is why I am seriously concerned for our country. Chilling.

[democrank]

12. Good questions, Leghorn21.

[LittleWoman]

8. It's only a matter of time

before there is an epidemic of some disease like typhus in these "detention" camps. Typhus is spread by lice and from this article it is clear that the idiots in charge have no idea of any standards of public health. Keeping large numbers of people in crowded quarters with poor or little food and no means of keeping clean like soap etc. is just asking for trouble.

The Geneva Convention for treatment of prisoners of war calls for food, shelter and medical care. The Trump administration is not meeting even these minimal standards. When a government takes custody of human beings whether they are children or adults it assumes responsibility for their health, safety and well being. The people responsible for this from Trump on down should be tried, convicted and locked up.

As my Father used to say enough is enough and too much is too much.

9. This isn't ignorance, it's intentional.

They know exactly what they’re doing to these children. If they get ill or die, they consider it a deterrent to others and the price they pay for breaking the rules. It’s sick, but to these Nazis, the crueler the better.

[democrank]

13. Important points.

22. Thanks pete.

I'm always suspicious of anything I see on the internet that doesn't link to original source.
I appreciate it.

[BKDem]

16. For every comb those kids lose...

...it's like taking 59 cents out of Donald Trump's pocket. Don't even get me started on toothbrushes.

[Toorich]

17. If I lived in Texas.....

... and child welfare got an anon call that I was doing this to my kids...
no doubt cops with drawn guns, a court order to seize my kids, and...
I'm going to jail charged with child abuse.
It will take months or years to get my kids back if I get them at all.
Where are the State authorities????

[AlexSFCA]

18. just remember that we are the ones who pay for this

26. UN please do something, a NAZI is running the show here and we will be KILLED if we

try and stop this stuff.

Half this country believes a lie that Obama started separation

he didnt

[leanforward]

27. Someone needs to go to jail.

I’m repeating myself. The officer/agent needs to Live in the conditions he created. Again, tarp shade, chain link, no soap, no oral hygiene, etc.

The policy wonks and supervisors need the same.

I’m ticked.
