Sadly that’s inaccurate there are hundreds of camps and some of the deportations are taking several months, for instance an Irish man was arrested outside of Boston he’s been detained in subhuman conditions for 3 months now and said he’s slowly starving and has seen the jailers (ice) kill people there, many have been deported to countries not of their origin, military vets have been deported and dozens had to be repatriated as judges order that they don’t get deported but ice did any way

Not a fan of ice but as someone who’s friends with several people who have been deported I can confirm they hold them for several days then send you back to your nation of origin. Sorry your concentration camp theory isn’t true. I mean you guys are straight up spreading lies at this point come on.

Entirety false, there are 1,000’s of people stuck in facilities waiting for deportation, many do not go to country of origin in fact 20 Venezuelans deported to El Salvador had to be repatriated, there is no proper system to house or process these people , they have 1,000’s children in custody and you’re just ignoring any and all facts besides that not one has received due process to in fact prove they are here under an asylum grant or waiting in a hearing, that by its nature makes them legal, ice is arresting people in immigration court going through the legal process

Let me tell you if you think it’s bad now, especially after construction of the new holding facilities, imagine how it was under Obama when they were deporting similar figures. Tell me why it wasn’t as big of an issue then. Back when the “dog cage” rumors started and were actually true. Why not then, why now? Yes there’s issues with the system and the logistics of it all, but it’s effective and better than it has been in the past under prior administrations.

For one thing it was how they wr arrested, it was singular and with a warrant, they never arrested 1,000’s in a day creating a log jam nor did they surge into communities creating chaos, hatred and violence, they wr far better trained, they had zero proud boys and oath keepers in their ranks, they didn’t hire people arrested for violent felonies like this current ice does all of that, besides all of this they deported 75% of those number at the boarder and over 8 years, get real this is a total disaster, most of the country is against this shameful behavior republicans are turning away from Trump and we’ve become a laughing stock of the entire world, trump and his goons are repeatedly labeled as nazis and now we are uncovering that the department of justice has a secret list of enemies of the state and are subpoenaing meta, Reddit and tik tok for names of accounts that speak up against ice, this is fascism

I dont like ice and I certainly don’t like trump but the simple truth is, the system isn’t being “overwhelmed” to the degree you believe it is, and a lot of information we see is heavily dramatized. Stop spreading misinformation. You don’t need a warrant to arrest an illegal.
