The reports detail how guards have increasingly used chemical agents and physical tactics on detainees, including groups demanding adequate water, food and medical care.

For context ICE has not paid for detainee medical care for the past seven months, which is why detainees are willing to risk a beating to try and get it

We've seen what they do in public.

Let's not call it force, and call it what it is. I'm taking suggestions, but I'll start:

  • torture
  • lynchings
  • kidnappings

  • Murder

  • Genocide

  • Infanticide

  • Medical malpractice

  • Elder abuse

  • Child abuse

Concentration Camps. They aren't "detention centers." They're Concentration Camps.

These are concentration camps

I am willing to bet that sexual abuse and rape are happening in these "detention centers" too. Why wouldn't it be happening, everything about this administration points to that.

It is, they have a problem with female prisoners getting pregnant from guard rape.

Yep

All they have to do is get you quarantined away from the public and they can do whatever the fuck they want to you

Because everyone will know about it while still not doing anything meaningful against it

We already knew that because they're concentration camps.
