In The Old Times (2023) this would be an international incident getting major headlines. Now, of course, it's barely making a ripple.

CNN: Detained 5-year-old immigrant is depressed and lethargic, Texas congressman says in demanding boy’s release

“It’s worse than people think,” said attorney Eric Lee, who tried to visit clients at Dilley on Saturday.

“The water is putrid. They have to mix baby formula with water that nobody wants to even smell. The food has bugs in it. The food has dirt in it.”

While waiting to see his clients, “Guards came in and suddenly said, ‘Get out. Get out.’ And I didn’t know what was happening,” Lee said.

“As I was walking back to my car to leave, I heard the sound of hundreds of children chanting. … They were chanting, ‘Let us out. Let us out.’”

CoreCivic is running that facility.



90% of immigration detention in the U.S. is done by private, for-profit corporations that have multimillion dollar contracts with ICE. Expanding the Trump administration’s promised mass deportation of immigrants will depend on further reliance on those companies—and on targeting immigrants who are not criminals.

But staffing issues do not fully explain the lack of basic medical care at California City. “They do it so you give up,” Julio Cesar Santos Avalos, who was a detainee at California City from September to November, told me. When he arrived at C.C.D.F., Santos Avalos recalls a consistent push by staff for detainees to sign away their rights and self-deport. Instructions for how to self-deport are displayed prominently near phones where detainees communicate with their lawyers. Santos Avalos and many of the detainees and attorneys I spoke to believe the lack of medical care is part of that push. The detention center is aiming to make conditions so terrible that detainees stop fighting and decide to leave. Santos Avalos, who suffers from chronic pain owing to a foot deformity caused by childhood cases of polio and Guillain-Barré syndrome, was denied his pain medication and made to sleep on a top bunk until he broke under the pressure and self-deported to El Salvador.

No one should be so naive to think that Miller is the only dark-hatted villain in that White House — there’s a whole gallery. But he sure makes the strongest case for being the most malevolent, influential force there, a malignancy that poisons everything he touches.
Like the most treacherous toadies from literature — Iago, Wormtongue, Tywin Lannister — Miller managed to shove aside rivals to latch onto his master’s ear and guide him toward more evil.

Apparently, this is a question that completely stumps Trump Trash on the insanity of ICE and, honestly, on just about any other of the Fourth Reich's policies:

"I see. Now, help me out here --- what problem is this supposed to solve, exactly?" And keep politely pressing for an actual problem. "Those people are illegal!" is not a problem. It's just a fact.

If they blather some talking point like, "Those people are taking our jobs", ask for clarification. Which jobs? And the real killer, "How do you know that's true?"

Remain completely neutral. Maybe, "Hey, well, get back to me if you come up with the answer."

I would love to see the press start using this over and over.
