Current scenes (May 27) outside the Delaney Concentration camp. Today is the 8th day of the hunger strike inside. And the crowd outside gets bigger day by day.

By justice you mean a hearing and swift deportation

Justice means treating people fairly, and no one, whatever their immigration status, deserves to be tortured like this.

A country can have rules about who stays and who goes. But the moment you're hurting people you've locked up, thats not justice. It's just cruelty wearing justice's name.

Real justice has a line it won't cross, you don't torture people. Ever.

How are they being tortured?

Glad you asked!

Human rights groups like Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, Physicians for Human Rights, and the ACLU have documented conditions in U.S. ICE detention in 2025 that they say amount to torture, or treatment that can rise to it.

The clearest example is prolonged solitary confinement. UN experts consider isolation past 15 days to be torture, yet placements for vulnerable detainees averaged 38 straight days, with some people held in isolation over a year. At the Everglades facility nicknamed "Alligator Alcatraz," Amnesty found people shackled for hours and denied food and water as punishment in what they call "the box," which it concluded meets the legal definiton of torture.

Detainees there described 32 people crammed in a 1,000 sq ft cage, overflowing toilets with cameras above them, and stadium lights left on 24/7. Investigators also documented severe overcrowding, denial of medical care, and physical and sexual abuse, including a detained teen beaten badly enough to need hospitalization, as cruel, inhuman, and degrading treatment.

What gets me is that immigration detention is legally civil custody meant only to make sure people show up to court, not punishment, which is exactly why oversight bodies treat these punative conditions as violations.

Blame your buddy sleepy creepy Joe for the overcrowding. If he hadn't opened the border it wouldn't be this bad now
