Cuban man who lived in the U.S for 60 years dies in ICE detention in Miami
Across the country, 10 people have died in ICE custody since January.
I think at this point we can characterize it as killing. ICE is killing people.
Killing people in their death camps, too.
While I hate what's happening in the US right now as much as the next guy, let's not over-inflate the language used. It doesn't help anybody.
If we start calling what's currently there "ICE death camps" because 10 old people died across the whole country, people will get jaded, will start ignoring the cries for help as alarmist. And THEN the actual death camps will show up, but by that time nobody will be paying attention.
Exactly as it happened with Gaza.
We are all being killed on this glorious day.
The United States government is killing citizens and residents it deems undesirable. ICE is just the bullet.
Before that it was DHS, FBI, various police sheriff's departments. It's just escalating and will continue to do so.
I bet that count is low
It reminds me of nazi Germany.
Out of curiosity, if they weren't mistreating people, what would the expected number of deaths be given the total number of people-days of detention since January?
I can only imagine that they'll hand pick the most heartless people they can find to run the detention centers.
Have we not heard multiple stories from people detained how all they get is a space-blanket and pretty much have to sleep on concrete?
Without process, kidnapped in the streets, courtrooms and homes to be killed in detention. How can you accept this from your own country? The USA needs a revolution
Edit: I am very happy and would never consider suicide
It's been so great the last 10 years saying "this is what will be happening because the neo-nazis are taking over" and everyone telling me I'm overreacting, I'm being hyperbolic, I'm exaggerating or my favorite "you're just being dramatic"
Remember, THERE'S NO WAY they'd overturn Roe v Wade.
The crazy people were/are right.
This isn't a post making calling you crazy...
...The crazy people are actually right. Knowing parts of the truth makes them crazy.
The "crazy" people have been proven to not be crazy at all.
Remember those FEMA camps the right wing were going on about? Projection.
No, he didn’t just magically and coincidentally “die”.
This was murder. We must never forget what is happening right now and we must never forgive any accomplice. Someday, they will be held accountable. Never forgive or forget the terror, slavery, torture, deprivation of human rights, and murder enacted by this administration and its accomplices.
two possibilities, both likely (at the same time).
a) Ice does not provide basic necessities to live, like food/water/restrooms/access to emergency healthcare... and people will die.
b) there are so many people detained that it is statistically likely people will die of natural causes (you dont become immortal just because you're detained.
most likely both of those options at the same time.
The sad thing is I don't think it will be the USA putting them to trial. It'll be other nations that are picking through the rubble or individual governments after the united states balkanizes. Maybe I'm too pessimistic about things but I just don't see a way we get out of this whole.
Jesus christ, if this is what's making it to the news, imagine what is being covered up.
There are children and adults fighting for water in one of the detention. So yeah.
Land of the free.
Home of the depraved
"Whoever told you that is your enemy"
You accidentally some quotes.
Land of the
freefee
I feel so much safer now.
What a scourge he must have been /s
The entire thing is so sad
Was he one of the Cubans mad that his family lost their slaves and plantations? And voted for Trump?
Would that make it okay for ICE to abduct him without due process and kill him?
Keep in mind you’re talking about someone who came to the US as a 15 year old child.
i'm not sure it would make it okay but it might make it ironic.
Of course not but it's important context for people who don't know why a good chunk of Cuban Americans vote Republican.
skullfuck all the assholes who did this
metaphorically, of course, in adherence to all of lemmy's various tos
...f*cking balls-out cartoon fascists...
Kristi Noem is a Ku Klux Kunt.
Can the journalists please headline home as “American”, not leading off with a place he lived over half a century ago?
