How does ICE treat children in detention facilities?
We're seeing how ICE treats people on the streets, how they throw tear gas at preschools. Now we're learning what's going on inside these detention facilities that house children. And this is a tape of a girl reading the letter that she wrote about her life in a detention center.
Hello, my name is Ariana V. I'm 14 years old and I'm from Honduras. I've been detained for 45 days and I have never felt so much fear to go to a place as I feel here. Every time I remind myself that once I go back to Honduras, a lot of dangerous things could happen to my mom and I. My younger siblings haven't been able to see their mom in more than a month. They're very young and you need both of your parents when you're growing up. Since I got to this center, all you will feel is sadness and mostly depression. I haven't been getting any school time either or the other kids in here. Every single person in here had their jobs.
What are the contents of the letters from children in detention?
They had their lives. They aren't any danger for this country. All kids are being damaged mentally. They witness how their parents and other people are being treated. They don't have schools or doctors.
It's so devastating. And there was a big ProPublica article about this, where a reporter interviewed the people, they published the letters. This is the response from puppy and goat killer Kristi Noem. It is now being reported that Trump's federal agents at the ICE concentration camp in Dilley, Texas, are raiding the dormitories of the kids and their parents to confiscate and destroy letters from the children. This happened after the ProPublica published multiple letters from the children, like the one below from Arianna V. Whatever happened to free speech, this is like 1930s Germany, and that's from Ed Krasenstein. And this when I read the letters that these children had written and to know that the response was not to improve conditions or provide health care or school, but to confiscate the letters, it was darker than what I even imagined.
And what I imagine was pretty fucking dark.
This is so devastating and this is such a stain on the American government, on the American people, on the United States of America. And this is where I start to, I expect this from Donald Trump. I expect this from Kristi Noem. I expect it from JD Vance. I expect it from people that triple Trump to not care. i have heard from my experience in living in oklahoma i have heard people dehumanize black and brown kids my whole life i've heard white folk do this and we'll won't have won't make space for empathy for those little girls so this is where i go okay i'm not going to try to get a reaction out of sociopaths and psychopaths that are the mega regime or the mega supporters because i know they're incapable of it and they're broken i know that this is where i laser focus on
Hakeem Jeffries on Chuckle Schumer and the fact that they're playing patty cake and potentially going to give Kristi Noem more money. And then I have to go, okay, why? Why are they doing this? Why is this okay? Why are they doing this? Oh, I forgot. AIPAC broke them because they have given Israel a blank check to genocide the Palestinian people. And a lot of people would probably be like, oh, that's not connected to this. And it is exactly connected to this, because if you have an opposition party that picks and chooses which children they care about and which children they don't care about, and children don't have universal human rights, once you start seeding some territory with palestinian kids and benjamin netanyahu can do whatever the he wants to do and he can kill disproportionately kill all of these children in palestine then this is not going to affect you as much if you're hakim or chuckles this isn't going or corey booker this isn't going to penetrate you because you've already got your hands dirty and killing kids with taxpayer money somewhere else so what's giving christy no a little bit more what's
Why would you want to all of a sudden go abolish ICE? This is Nazi shit. This is not the United States of America.
