The videos show him doing mundane tasks, like laying on a bunk bed inside the facility, riding in a golf cart and sitting at a table in front of a cup of instant ramen in a mess hall. He also shows something that looks like meat loaf or bread in a container, while a voice says, “Doesn’t look very appetizing, does it?” Then he throws the food away.
“A lot of officers quit just because they were trying to help out the residents/inmates,” he said, according to New Times. “And their bosses kept telling them, ‘If you help them out, like give them water, take them to the bathroom, you will be fired.’”
The TikTok videos have surfaced among controversy about conditions at the site. Wives of detainees told the Herald that they have limited access to showers. Bugs like mosquitoes and grasshoppers are inside the cells, and the air conditioning had stopped working earlier this week, they said.
When this is over, we will need to find ways to hold admin officials and ICE agents accountable. Trump will issue a blanket pardon at the end of his term, and SCOTUS is no longer a legitimate institution. So we need to look for other routes to bring these criminals to justice.
I’m sorry, but if you’re working at a concentration camp, you are committing crimes against humanity. So, who assuming the US justice system can’t hold them to account, who can? Well this is where ICE agents are boned. Operating these concentration camps, they’re going to be responsible for the deaths of scores of citizens from dozens of foreign countries. And those countries don’t give a shit about US pardons. We need to ship ICE agents off to Venezuela and other countries whose citizens they have killed. Rendition them there, and they can put them on trial for the deaths of their citizens. ICE loves shipping people off to random countries. Let’s ship ICE agents off to countries where they can be held accountable for their crimes.
