Can we ask the IRC to come in and inspect...That is if they'll let em in. This is deplorable. Every American who gives a fig about others should be appalled.

Fighting the existential despair of what Trump is doing to our country with great recipes and mutual aid (donating, protesting, etc) is important and hopefully impactful. I really appreciate your Substack!!

Thank you for bringing this to everyone's attention. What is happening in our nation is beyond comprehension. We need to stick together, fight for people's basic human rights, and remember that we will get past this. Sending strength and peace to all.

Who else would lead this cruel and inhumane movement against immigrants but Donald Trump?

I’m in the chocolate seems very nice to eat can’t wait. My cats are sleeping in the upper shelf of my closet after a night of hunting nocturnally hunting mice. They bring the mice to me so I can get rid of it in a nice way. I feed my neighbors son she is named Eden . She loves a great pet now and then animals are good for a person emotionally. They seemed to know when a person is feeling upset or happy at least mine do. I am so sorry for the detention center, I find it’s not nice, too much abuse from my perspective. We are the human race and these people have been hurt by this current administration. President Obama had the DACA legislation. Even the late President Regan gave them amnesty. No matter what these people do it seems that DHS mistreats them. It reminds of my father’s telling me about the concentration camps during WW2 if they were a live today they would not this allow to happen. I am still oatmeal raisin cookie woke. Thank God for judges and lawyers they are the guardians of justice in our nation. Due process under the law , especially for little Liam Ramos and his father. I definitely like the opinion of that judge who signed his name above little Liam picture. Both of my cats are sleeping away on the top shelf of my closet.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention. Unsanitary conditions or pollution is most definitely inhumane. Every time I read about overcrowding in these detention camps it’s a public health hazard. This is how we get outbreaks of communicable diseases. Conditions like this and the constant use of antibiotics is part of the reason why we have superbugs. Then we enter a crisis because we have no effective antibiotics to treat these infections. I am very pissed at our government for allowing this when it’s 💯 percent preventable. 😡😡

Oh, Marissa, this is unspeakably dreadful (to state the obvious). We just donated a huge van full to the brim of mostly winter clothing (from families in my large apt building) but I think it's now too late for the clothes to go to any of the organizations donating to detention centers. Still, I'm forwarding your post to the people in charge. So thank you. x

There's a detention center 30 minutes from us. I need to make time for a visit. You inspired me -- and I'll share your post with others. Thank you!

Every day. Every day I am angered to a level I couldn't imagine the day before.

Every day.

Something MUST be done! We are all human!

Here in AZ, we are fighting the opening of a “detention center,” too. This gentleman’s speech at the public hearing is remarkable: https://youtube.com/shorts/HD6kwjVreFc?si=_5f51FZztnTI60aY
