My husband is a police officer. He said ICE has poor training, no discipline, bad leaders and no self respecting police force would do what they do. He said they’re thugs.

I agree with your husband, as being a retired police officer myself. ICE became under the Trump administration a gang of thugs, a lawlessness band and his personal Sturmabteilung(SA).

Did he have any suggestions on what WE THE PEOPLE can do about them or what local LEcan do?

Kudos to your husband and to you, Joan. ICE agents are thugs because their ultimate boss is the greatest thug in American history.

When a Democratic administration is back in place, there must be a Nurenburg-like trial where every ICE member who shot anyone will be in chains, and Steven Miller and all the other Trump toadies as well. The US should recognize the ICC and turn Trump over to them. Supreme Court-granted immunity won't save Trump from the ICC.

We still have Guantánamo didn’t Cheney teach us how to torture people?

Since being undocumented is a civil offense, not a criminal offense, ICE is essentially an extrajudicial death squad and the detention centers are extrajudicial death camps. Also, the ranks of iCE agents are filled by numerous criminals, many from J6, as well as the poorly trained and incompetent.

Muscle men, you can find at any gym in the country people with no brains and some muscle stimulating hormones that they drink by the gallon. Steroid psychos.

"... complaints of spoiled food, unsanitary bathrooms, faulty ventilation, and inadequate medical care."

This applies directly to our own Healthcare system. I was in the hospital for 5 days with pneumonia & sepsis. When I was discharged, they sent me to an Acute Post Care facility for physical therapy. I could not walk on my own. My first night there, I spent the night in my bed soaked in my own urine. Call bell? Never got a response. The next morning, I FINALLY got someone to change my bed and provide a dry gown. No offer of a shower. Then came breakfast. Oatmeal which tasted like it had been mixed with industrial strength toilet bowl cleaner. All of the meals were totally inedible. My daughter brought me a care pkg from Trader Joe's. For 4 days I subsisted on peanuts because not much else was appetizing.

The bed was so narrow that turning over at night was a risk to life and limb. We won't even talk about how the "mattress" felt like sleeping on concrete.

My Partner busted butt to get home from Montana, driving his truck, pulling our trailer. He broke me out of that hell-hole on Labor Day. I am now home & eating everything in sight. I can only walk with a walker, but physical therapy 3 times/week is helping me get my life back.

So, yea, Mary, our Healthcare system is abysmal. I feel deeply for the poor souls who have been left to die in these concentration camps. I hope and pray that your worthless uncle and his equally worthless children are held accountable for everything they have and are doing. They are all enriching themselves beyond comprehension and snuggling up to Putin & Russian oligarchs. It is beyond disgusting.

Vote BLUE in November folks! Your very lives depend on it.

GEO Detention was detaining a wife and mother of 5 children because she was a woman of color who had a verbal argument

with a fellow employee.

Food in detention gives no fresh fruit, just mainly some applesauce.

Her option: Voluntary

Deportation. Where was she taken?

This is unconscionable!

Mary, it is lamentable and tragic that the individual preponderantly responsible for ICE terror and depredation is your uncle. He should be behind bars or confined to an in-patient psychiatric facility for the remainder of his miserable, misanthropic and narcissistic life.

We have become a Nazi state.

Peggy Hendrickson's avatar

Please tell us what we can do about any of your uncle’s destructive acts. We know he is evil, but we are not seeing anyone but a few judges calling him out on it. Thank you, SCOTUS, for your action against letting the post office become a department with election oversight.

When are we going to start calling ICE detention, concentration camps?

I believe most of ICE is now ex-convicts or WORSE.
