They’re Pepper Spraying Senators Now
Go to https://www.Quince.com/leeja for free shipping on your next order and 365-day returns. | Tensions outside the Delaney Hall immigrant detention center in Newark, New Jersey boiled over this weekend, with Senator Andy Kim attempting to intervene and de-escalate and instead getting hit with pepper spray by DHS agents. The conditions inside Delaney Hall are so bad that 300 detainees are currently participating in a hunger strike. This is all part of the larger fascist plan to dehumanize immigrants so we all look the other way.

Senator Kim was later accused for having convinced protesters to stand down temporarily so that ICE would take the opportunity to come out with a bunch of vehicles that transported detainees to other facilities. Such a messed up alternate timeline. I'm tired boss

According to protesters on the ground he was scabbing and he actually asked them to disperse to allow the human trafficking to continue, ICE is just so trigger happy that they pepper sprayed him anyways.

I know this isn't remotely the point, but I'm so glad I'm not American and have never visited the States. It just seems like a lawless land where the rich can do whatever they want and the population just has to take it.

So these reports and articles about these conditions, are they on ground news?

I think instead of getting between the protestors and ice agents, the senator should have told the crowd not to block the vehicle entrance/exit. I’ve heard blocking driveways, govt building access, and streets is illegal in most of the country, although granted, I have zero plans to actually need to look the rules up, if I’m ever close enough to an ice facility it’ll be because they finally came for the poor fat white guys who voted republican.

Look. I'm not a lawyer, I'm just a history nerd.
But the way the conditions are described sound a hell of a lot like:
"Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part"

The world is better with you in it :(( these comments are so dumb. I’m so sorry you’re in this transphobic smear campaign I legit believe you when you say this is about you being trans. Greenlegocats has said the n word before and their content style is like leafyishere. I used to watch them when I was a kid until he made rape jokes and Donald Trump jokes from what I remember. Because I experienced sexual abuse so young as a little girl i could tell that gaming spaces didn’t include me. You’re not the only one ❤️

Cory Booker is a fraud. He will perform for the cameras or social media while doing what his donors or lsraeI tell him to do.

Who in their right mind thinks this is #1 godly #2 human? #3 american? Some need to check their mental health. Hate for humanity is evil. We are all human, non of this is godly, human or American. Its a sickness of the mind and heart. Its sad and that kind of anger and cruelty and to act on it is to be without God or Jesus's teachings.

Why has Booker visited the detention center only once since it opened over a year ago? It seems like he should be helping spearhead efforts to redress human rights violations in this de facto concentration camp.

To be fair, dying after only one day in custody, vs. all those people somehow surviving that hell hole, does kinda point to natural causes, unless it was, say, a black widow spider bite (still natural, though obviously avoidable by those running these Holocaust camps, but not internally caused). They need to release his detailed cause of death.

I'm now thirty, and when I was twenty, I was struck by a Honda Odyssey while riding my bicycle. I went from ~175lb down to 125 when discharged. Literal skin and bones, the fat content was probably just the lining around my organs. The treatment of these detainees, regardless of what they're detained for, is unamerican and inhumane.
@goawayplzthnx

The better question is: why weren't senators in the streets with us all this time?
Boo-hoo, Kim. You and your buddies should already have been getting your butts kicked WITH us. You're SO late to the party.

The question is
did Hitler actually have any real issues with Jews or gypsies or black people or anyone, or did he -like Trumpjust view that hate-mongering bullsh*t as a means of gaining power/favor among the easily led racists to gain himself a fighting force within the country?@christopherbettridge

This is just a concentration camp. Those people should be at home with their families and are being held in a torture prison.
When this is all over I hope we don't stop sentencing people to life long prison till every guard, actuary, janitor, politician, anyone who worked at these facilities is put behind bars for this.
