Cuban immigrant’s death at ICE facility ruled a homicide, autopsy report says, and honestly, the initial reaction is a mix of shock and a grim sort of inevitability. It’s almost as if, given the circumstances surrounding these detention centers, we were almost *expecting* this.

It reflects a deeper problem, a systemic issue that warrants immediate and thorough investigation. The details of the death, the precise cause, and the individuals responsible are now critical pieces of information that need to be brought to light.… Continue reading

It seems the sentiment is, we are already terrified. There’s a deep-seated fear and anger simmering, and the revelation of a “secret ICE policy” only fans the flames. It’s a feeling of betrayal, as if those elected to protect us are either complicit or powerless to stop the erosion of our rights.

This action sets a dangerous precedent, threatening civil liberties for everyone, not just those targeted by immigration enforcement.… Continue reading
