“…children at an immigration detention facility who said they were beaten while handcuffed and locked up for long periods in solitary confinement, left nude and shivering in concrete cells.”

Trump’s very own Baby Ghraib prison.

Only a matter of time until the Lynndie England photos emerge…

If you’re truly depraved, your career choices are limited to there or the White House.

Tough choice…

Having a prison-industrial complex means keeping it fed, usually with the blood of immigrants and minorities. Jailing people should never be a for-profit venture as we’ve already seen, for example, by the actions of sheriffs in southern states.

And plenty of judges who are in on the gravy train.

Wait, this facility is licensed by the Commonwealth of VA? It’s not a federal facility, it’s not a state facility, its a privately operated facility that is licensed by the state?

Why hasn’t it been shut down by the state?

Will do. It is strange finding myself a player, even of a small part, at the center of an intense national debate regarding what our country should stand for. These vicious attacks on foreign citizens and asylum seekers really strike at our most basic values as a nation: fundamental Statue of Liberty and “The New Colossus” ideals. I am appalled at what I see, as are many of my colleagues in the National Immigration Bar. Check out the American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA) website.
