Anytime any republican does ANYTHING and says it's "for the children", I want you to remember this exact moment, and know that they are full of shit. THIS is how they treat children.
It's for their own children, not anyone else's.
Nah, it's not even that. They'll toss their own children out in a heartbeat if they don't follow in their parents' footsteps. It's not about children at all. That's just another of their double speak lies.
Can we just take a moment to answer a simple question: WHY ARE CHILDREN IN A "DETENTION CENTER" IN THE FIRST PLACE?
We can just call them concentration camps now. No need to mince words.
Frankly, I usually do. I only made an exception here to match the original euphemistic phrasing.
Because Donald Trump is a sociopath.
Because ~~Donald Trump is a~~ Republicans are sociopaths.
Biden and Obama did it too. This is deeper than parties.
Fuck Trump with a pinecone - but this will not be fixed just because the "other team" wins an election.
And Stephen Miller is a cartoonishly evil white nationalist hyper-troll.
& Nosferatu wannabe prick
Because they were kidnapped by men who were already profiting from private prisons, but felt their entrepreneurial capabilities were really being hindered by due process
Republicans: "Our prisons aren't profitable anymore! Too many states legalized weed, so we had to make due.
If you believe the republican narrative, it's because they're all members of Tren de Aragua and MS-13.
In other words, there is no justifiable reason for it and the entire ordeal depends on the ignorance of the maga base and complicity of those in power.
Because cruelty is the point.
How long have those children been in there, huh? I was in juvie pretrial for actual crimes and got outdoor time, school sessions, group therapy. This place have any of that for non-criminal minors?
The whole operation is a money making scheme. They get about $100 per day from the government to detain a person. They are sweeping up as many as they can which clogs up the courts which means they can detain people even longer and make even more money.
I guess it depends on if you trust the word of the private prison corporation that owns the facility and receives a federal contract to pack people in like sardines.
This is just a guess, but I will go out on a limb and say that probably if any of that "exists" it's just for show to check off some boxes on a form that tacks in a few more million to your contract. Like a classroom nobody uses or a recreational area the kids aren't allowed to play in.
We all know the answer to that
Starting to sound an awful lot like capital ‘C’ Concentration Camps.
Start watching for “deportation” to transition to torture, forced labor, and death by neglect (which has already happened in some cases.)
I feel pretty comfortable telling anybody that reads the headline and doesn't immediately side with the kidnapped children being forced to live in squalor: 🗣️🔊GO FUCK YOURSELF AND I HOPE YOU BURN IN HELL, YOU SACK OF NAZI DOG SHIT.
It makes me feel sick to have to ask this, but did all of the kids survive? Did any make it out?
What do you mean make it out? They're being held in a private prison.
Lee described Saturday’s action inside the facility as a peaceful demonstration, not a riot, and said the show of solidarity carried risk for detained families.
Lee said the protest unfolded against what he described as harsh day-to-day conditions inside the Dilley detention center. He characterized the facility as “a horrible, horrible place,” alleging that drinking water is “putrid” and often undrinkable, and that meals have contained “bugs,” dirt, and debris.
“The guards are just as tough as the guards at the adult facilities. This is not a place that you would want to have your child be for even 15 minutes,” Lee said.
Texas Public Radio reached out to Immigration and Customs Enforcement for comment on the disturbance and on Lee’s allegations regarding Liam Ramos’ treatment but had not received a response by Saturday evening.
The Dilley detention complex — known for years as the South Texas Family Residential Center — closed in 2024 and later reopened, as federal authorities expanded detention capacity for immigrant families, according to prior reporting and company statements.
I was expecting more of a riot type of situation. It's at least good that they still have some morale, regardless.
Imagine if it's the immigrants who end up saving the country 🤞🏼
Well that would be super hard to imagine since that's never happened repeatedly throughout history. /s
