Perhaps most interesting to me in this article:

Protestors had been there since Friday, the same day detainees announced a work and hunger strike to draw attention to what they say is a lack of proper medical care and sub standard food.

They shot two people in broad daylight and have had God knows how many die in their facilities. Pepper spraying seems mild by comparison.

They're also targeting children. They kidnap entire families. Kill the adults, but the kids just go missing. Let that sink in while you remember which president currently controls ICE.

Dead bodies represented by a line item called "medical waste"

It's the part about them attacking a US senator that's eyebrow raising

Yeah this country's fucked, idk split the country in two like you can say it's trump or the republican party not the people but it's the people who are actually signing up for ice and hurting other innocent people. This isn't about trump anymore, it's about half the country's people clearly aren't interested in democracy anymore. Let them have what they want.

The senator should be pressing charges, tbh

They are like toddlers hiding the bad things they are doing and getting violent when questioned or watched.

She was literally at the detention center to meet with prisoners and inspect conditions before the attack?
