Surprise inspection finds ICE stuffing migrants ‘like sardines’ into a facility with no bed, showers | The unannounced oversight visit came hours after the Arizona Mirror’s report found 250 people in a space built for 157

The results of the surprise inspection are going to result in greater support from Republican voters and even greater shruggery from the non-voting apolitical crowd.
Like I hate everything about it and it disgusts me that we’re in a Nazi-like society, but the key word there is society. The regime didn’t fall out of the sky and impose this on us. The ~70% of our free-willed adult society who either voted Republican in 2024 or stayed home were duly warned that things like this would happen and they still made their choices.

That facility is called a concentration camp and the “accidental” death of people in it due to mistreatment, malnourishment and disease **is the goal**.

Inspectors: you have to stop this immediately
ICE: eh, I think we can fit another 40-50.
Judge: I demand you do not do that.
ICE: *smiles while loading people in*
Inspectors: Now it’s even worse! This is inhumane!
ICE: it’s not inhumane if we don’t count them as humans.
Judge: I told you to stop!
ICE: yeah, we heard you.
Judge: you must stop, or else!
ICE: or else what?
Judge: or else…
ICE: ???
Judge: Or else you’ll be breaking the law.
ICE: K. *continues crimes against humanity*

That’s quite the **concentration** of people they’re abusing in that **camp**.

I’ve been stuck in an airport for six hours and lost my mind. A month in a holding cell with no bed, no shower, and 40 strangers on concrete would break anyone and this is happening right now under a system that calls itself humane.

No surprise. They pulled their overseas CECOT prison visit video from a 60 minutes segment. It aired in Canada and I shared the link like crazy since US media was ordered to pull it before it aired because trump didn’t want people to see the conditions. I still have the link for anyone who never watched it. I will happily share it to anyone who asks

These are concentration camps, and will become wholesale death camps if Republicans are allowed to remain in power.

On another note “Did the American public know what was going on?”

It’s not like ICE doesn’t have the $ to rent better facilities. I am not supporting ICE just saying they have 0 excuses for this.

Not surprised here. I have read about it multiple times in different states. Is all about maximizing the about of money this facilities (privately owned) get. The more detainees. The more money. Is sad that the country that was build on “law and order” is behaving like a 3rd world country with all the corruption. If the white house does it, all the people below will do it, and nothing will happened until there is a change in any branch of power.

Who is shocked by this?
One of the first things Democrats MUST do is mandate regular oversights of every single ICE facility along with the imprisonment of the guards at those where abuse is found against those inside.
The fact that there is no oversight speaks volumes
This is bad, but considering how much diversity NAU pulls and considering ICE was going after Native Americans, it’s going to get worse if they have their way.
Call your state and federal reps.

The most surprising thing here is they were finally actually able to gain access to do an inspection, various members of congress have been trying since this all started, and they have the legal right to inspect with no notice.
We all knew what was inside was going to be horrific.

Sorry but Arizonans voted for this. And just in case you thought “well I’m a citizen, I’m not affected,” 400,000 Arizonans were also kicked off food assistance and public schools are also closing schools left and right due to private school vouchers.
In case you can’t feel those things, gas is up and costs are up. And if you thought “it’s only federal elections, people just didn’t like Kamala” no, my friend, their 2.5% flat tax is causing their state budget to have shortfalls.
Dems need to take the state legislatures before any of this changes. They’ve come closer each year, but it’s nothing like the 50 years of power the GOP has held on the state.
There is a name for such facilities, Concentration camps.

>When Democratic U.S. Reps. Greg Stanton and Yassamin Ansari told ICE they would be conducting that oversight visit — ICE policy requires they give seven days’ notice before arriving — the number of detainees began to decrease to some of the lowest numbers the facility had seen all year.
It’s amazing that that’s actually a thing. You’re supposed to give them oversight, but also supposed to give them 7 days warning to hide any bad thing?
I’m glad they got to do the surprise visit and sad that isn’t just a thing they can normally do. That’s a threat that should **always** looming over their heads.

ICE was discovered with the plan in action.
