In the time I was away, more evidence has emerged about the widespread, if not ubiquitous abuses and neglect going on inside ICE's concentration camps; particularly as it pertains to DHS's intentionally barbaric treatment of migrant children. While the following selection is by no means exhaustive, I'd like to share a short (15 minutes) video from The Humanist Report that talks about this systemic and intentional neglect of migrants and in particular migrant children; then I'll share two articles Mike used in making this video you can read to go deeper on the subject if you like. Kids in ICE Concentration Camp “Distraught” and “Horribly Sick” Due to Inhumane Conditions https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eTZVBoO3vXw Although I strongly advise you to just watch the video, host Mike Figueredo touches on three major topics. First, glaring evidence that the neglect is systemic and intentional; detainees are held in squalid conditions, illnesses and viruses (including measles) are spreading in the camps, access to food and water are intentionally restricted to levels that compromise the health of kidnapped migrants, and necessarily medical care is routinely denied. Figueredo then explores what this looks like in real time by examining the horrifying physical and psychological toll being foisted on literal children in the Dilley, Texas ICE concentration camp. Finally our host makes it clear that by DHS and ICE's own admissions to caged migrants, they are intentionally torturing migrant children to try and force their parents seeking asylum or other legal means of staying in the country, to self deport. To put it bluntly, purposely starving people, serving children maggot-infested food, and making literal toddlers dangerously sick without providing medical care is pretty much straight up 3rd Reich-style Nazi behavior. As I pointed out above - depraved indifference to life in the camps is what the Nazis tried *before* they settled on murdering the Jewish people (and other enemies of the Reich) via Zyklon-B. In terms of source material, Figueredo uses a variety of articles, but the two most important ones are a CBS (boo) piece about Georgia Sen. Jon Ossoff's investigation into conditions in the camps last fall, and a Pro Publica report about the horrifying treatment of children in the Dilley, Texas concentration camp that contains a lot of direct testimony from the children being tortured and their parents. https://archive.ph/71uqE "Ossoff investigation details alleged medical neglect, poor conditions at ICE detention centers" Keeping in mind that Ossof is a cop-humping centrist who literally couldn't talk about obvious human rights abuses his own office uncovered without moaning about Americans demanding secure borders, there are two major findings here in the Dem Senator's survey of over 500 reports of abuse and neglect, from Jan. 20 and Aug. 5, 2025. First, necessary medical care is being routinely denied in the camps (above and beyond ICE simply not paying for medical providers as we detailed in a post above). And secondly, detainees are being purposely given too little food, the food they are given is moldy and maggot infested, and ICE is also withholding access to clean water; all of which is directly contributing to what can thus only be described as "engineered sickness" in the camps. Now lets turn to the concentration camp for kids, in Dilley, Texas. https://www.cnn.com/2026/02/10/us/dilley-ice-children-propublica "The children of Dilley" This is a tough article to read if you have any humanity left in your soul because at the end of the day, what we're talking about here is the US government purposely torturing kidnapped children, to force their parents to self deport. The authors again describe substandard food portions, lack of access to medical care, lack of adequate schooling or activities for children, literal 1 year old babies being held in a concentration camp, and much worse. In particular, the authors provide clear evidence that the kids, who aren't supposed to be held here for more than 20 days, as mandated by detention regulations, are spending far more time inside the camps than that - at least one child reported being detained for over 120 days. "Although a long-standing legal settlement generally limits the time children can be held in detention to 20 days, a data analysis by ProPublica found that about 300 kids sent to Dilley by the Trump administration were there for more than a month. The administration in legal filings has said the agreement from 1997 is outdated and should be terminated because there are new statutes, regulations and policies that ensure good conditions for immigrant minors in detention." So once again, we see ICE and DHS ignoring the laws and rules they don't like. To torture children. And it's "working." "There were children in Dilley who were so distraught they cut themselves or talked about suicide, several mothers told me." Folks, there is no reforming this. The people responsible should be in jail - or worse.

@AnarchoNinaAnalyzes@social.treehouse.systems Next step is STASI. Ask elderly people in ex- DDR (former East Germany) what it was like to live in fear for your neighbour, a family member even more than most of you do now with Rep. folks.
