Also, I was talking about these conditions in these detention centers in Texas where the five-year-old is being held.
I don't know if you saw the story about the Cuban migrant who died in the El Paso facility, which I have seen from reports is even worse.
DHS, liars, had said that he died by suicide.
Then the El Paso medical examiner does an autopsy and confirms that it was a homicide, which lines up with what his family heard from witnesses who said that they saw the guards strangle him to death.
And then DHS, after those witnesses said that, DHS tried to deport them.
The Washington Post also reported that five other people aside from this Cuban immigrant have already died in immigration detention the first two weeks of the year, including a 36-year-old man at the same facility who was swept up in the Minnesota raids.
We haven't talked about the detention facilities in a while.
Because I think we've rightly been so focused on ice rampaging through the communities.
Everyone should check out Runaway Country, Alex Wagner's podcast, because she digs into the detention centers this week.

Rampant disease, very little medical care, very little access to medical care for people.

They're just they're just leaving people there to rot.
And now, people who are here legally.
Or anyone who doesn't look like them.
