ICE says Victor Manuel Diaz died at the tent facility on Jan. 14. The 36-year-old from Nicaragua had been in custody since Jan. 6 when ICE says agents “encountered” him in Minneapolis and determined he was in the country illegally.

They found him unconscious and assumed it was a suicide. What a load of shit. People don't just drop unconscious and die on command. Which means they beat him and that lead to his death or they refused to give him medication for some chronic condition(insulin for example) or he died of exposure as they are kept in a tent in the middle of nowhere.

Yup, these are death camps. There's a reason they've illegally kept the doors closed to Democrat representatives.

If they don't kill you on the street they can just kill you in the concentration camp. A judge ruled that they can prevent anyone inspecting the facilities, and another ruling allows them to stop providing medical care. The whole system is explicitly telling these thugs that they can kill anyone they want to with impunity, and they're enjoying their license to murder.

They will continue to do so, as this machine is getting too big to stop. Even if there is a blue wave in the midterms, what are the Democrats going to do? The DOJ, DHS, and the White House do not care about laws anymore, so how will this be resolved legislatively? That’s also assuming this blue wave is not just a flood of feckless cowards, which seems more likely.

If they're intent on killing us one way or another anyway, it doesn't seem like there's much incentive to go peacefully, huh?

Don't let the kidnappers take you to point B.

And they won't let anybody inspect the facilities. And a judge approved this.

There's a long list of people that need prosecuted after all this...
But we can't forget all the people working for these private prisons, especially the c-suite and investors, not just the boots on the ground.
Take all that money back, and throw all the leaders in prison for human rights abuses.
There's no more rules shirt brothers, we can just do the right thing even if a law doesn't explicitly say we can do it. Well never win a class war by following rules the other side ignores.

Who will prosecute the people in this scenario? There is no end in sight imo

The next government...
Only the neoliberal wing obstructed holding people accountable last time. Now they don't control the DNC, so they can't use the "victory fund" to control state parties during the presidential primary or House/Senate rep's votes thru threats of bankrupting state parties.
Like, there's a shit ton to be optimistic about these days, you just won't hear about it on anything a billionaire owns, they want people turned off from the Dem party since they lost control.

Like I am not in the US and generally this is correct, but domestic politics specifically in the US I fear is going to get even worse.

I'm in the US, I expect it to get a lot worse before it will get any better.
Maeve@kbin.earth · 4 pts · 204d
It will get worse for everyone if we don't learn, demand better and embody better ourselves. This isn't going to be top down. It has to be bottom up.
givesomefucks@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 204d
Oh yeah, the next year shit will get much worse...
But "it's always darkest before the dawn" is a saying for a reason. It's a completely different vibe then when Biden was going into office and everyone knew it was just a brief respite at best.
The last time we were in this "good" of a position was the great depression, but that got us FDR.
So on the timeline of a decade, I'm optimistic. Because if I only thought on short timeline these days I'd be depressed as fuck, which is why oligarch owned media wants everyone thinking on short timelines.

Yeah, look how that turned out for those Jan 6 thugs...

Beyond the obvious reason, this sign always pissed me off.
What's with the huge bump under MACHT? It's dumb. It looks like shit. It should have been one big arch, not this stupid rollercoaster bullshit. It's an architectural atrocity. Stupid fuckin Nazis and their shitty art

Perhaps you prefer Buchenwald's?
glimse@lemmy.world · 7 pts · 204d
"I prefer Buchenwald" is a statement I never thought I'd think but yes that is much better design-wise lol
Still bad but it doesn't piss me off like that hilly macht

Some stupid shit like they'd already submitted a flat design to fab when they find out that certain work trucks actually have a center horn mounted to the top of the cab that brings the height from 5 meters to 5.25 meters so they cut in a gap, add some bends and weld the letters back on.

More like in captivity, while being held hostage or while being imprisoned.
HellsBelle@sh.itjust.works · 15 pts · 204d
I have to wonder just how many serial killers are on ICE payroll, 'cause what an easy way to find victims.

Tent facility? Seriously?
Palestine was the testing ground.
