🚨BREAKING: ICE agents were filmed shoving U.S. citizens into a MOVING TRUCK during protests outside Newark’s Delaney Hall detention facility… while one protester’s foot looks to be run over by the vehicle.
These are Americans standing in solidarity with detainees… who are currently on a hunger and labor strike… over reports of abuse, medical neglect, inedible food, overcrowding, and retaliation inside the facility.
A woman reportedly miscarried while detained, and was denied proper medical treatment.
Families and advocates have reported detainees being beaten and pepper sprayed.
Lawmakers attempting oversight have been blocked from access.
And now women involved in the strike are reportedly being transferred out of state, to Louisiana, as of this morning…
A move Rep. Rob Menendez believes is retaliation for demanding basic human decency.
And when Americans show up to protest it… ICE agents responded with extreme violence. (Now imagine what they are doing IN the facility, without cameras everywhere.)
So, it’s time to stop pretending this is “normal immigration enforcement.”
You do not build detention systems, like this, unless cruelty is the point.
You do not transfer hunger strikers across the country, to a facility known for quick deportations, unless intimidation is the point.
You do not attack protesters and block oversight unless you know the public would be horrified by what’s happening inside.
And the government is doing this openly now… because they no longer believe there will be consequences.
