That’s horrific.

Plaintiffs say they found blood in their mouths and saliva, suffered from debilitating headaches, felt dizzy and lightheaded, and now deal with long-term chronic health issues as a result of their exposure to the chemical.

The atrocity below unsurprisingly happened under Trump’s Title 42 criminal oppression.

Last week, a nurse at a privately run immigration-detention facility in Irwin County, Georgia, filed a whistle-blower complaint alleging that women at the facility were undergoing hysterectomies without their informed consent.

So we can add forced sterilization to the list of horrors like physically and sexually abusing hundreds of children. The only thing more insane than Trump enacting it, was the Supreme Court blocking Biden’s attempt to end it.

The thing is, that system hasn't been reformed. Nobody got fired, no contracts got cancelled. This is also the day to day under Biden, just with a little less pesticide.

He terminated contracts with detention centers and ICE departments that have problematic track records, as well as discharged problem employees, upon entering office. He then tried to repeal Title 42, and was stalled by SCOTUS. After that, his open border policy needed little detention. Only now that he’s detaining at the request of sanctuary cities are these numbers rising again.

From everything I can find they shut down their 287g contract with them because Massachusetts wanted it shut down. I'm not finding other stories about shut downs. In fact the ACLUs position is that this is still an on going problem.

Far from shutting down problematic private detention centers it looks like he's leaning on them while doubling detention rates.

And I'm pretty sure we talked about title 42 before. He ended that program in a manner guaranteed to be stopped by the courts. And then left it until he instituted the new asylum system that's already illegal according to our laws and treaties. Asylees must be allowed to declare asylum after arrival. With no caveats. Any kind of restriction on that is illegal. But Biden is now claiming asylees must remain in the country they want to flee while coordinating with the US State department. That is incredibly dangerous and naive.
