Incident in which migrants were shackled with hands tied of one succession of alleged abuses at jails in Florida
Migrants at a Miami immigration jail were shackled with their hands tied behind their backs and made to kneel to eat food from styrofoam plates “like dogs”, according to a report published on Monday into conditions at three overcrowded south Florida facilities.
The incident at the downtown federal detention center is one of a succession of alleged abuses at Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency (Ice) operated jails in the state since January, chronicled by advocacy groups Human Rights Watch, Americans for Immigrant Justice, and Sanctuary of the South from interviews with detainees.
Dozens of men had been packed into a holding cell for hours, the report said, and denied lunch until about 7pm. They remained shackled with the food on chairs in front of them.
At this point we can pretty much write off the US as being civilized.
We could have written them off as civilized years ago. I think it’s well beyond that now.
Should have, but lots of countries didn’t because there was just too much money to be made by going along with US bullshit. If Cletus with a GED in bumfuck Mississippi is morally culpable for this (and he is) then Klaus with the PhD in the Bundestag ought to explain himself too.
Agreed. My own country is one of the most culpable. My disability payments come from a pension plan heavily invested in 'Murica and they refuse to even consider changing. Lots of folks collecting from American investments. Companies. Government. Individuals.
i guess it’s also historical momentum, and people changing only slowly
Abu Ghraib.
DeSatan was a JAG officer at Guantanamo, overseeing torture of post-9/11 detainees. Reportedly, he laughed at their suffering.
Yes, this isn’t a sudden development. They’ve been practicing and refining their cruelty and humiliating protocols.
Yeah, the Abu Ghraib photos were released over 20 years ago. The US has always been like this, liberals are just worried because it has happening stateside now
A lot of us were upset about it happening abroad too.
No no, Americans savages, liberals bad
ICE: brought to you by the “I can’t eats my shredded wheats no next to a black. Or drink from the same water fountain!” crowd. The ultimate snowflakes.
