It's actually a tactic ICE has used for years. Treat detainees as horrendously as is legal (or worse, if there are no consequences). Most importantly, the entire time ICE will dangle in front of them paperwork that they can sign to consent to deportation without any process.
It's just a coercion tactic to avoid due process.
It's partly that I'm sure and also to dehumanize them further. It's not mentioned in the article but I would imagine they aren't given silverware and have to eat with their hands. In american culture it is often seen as a lowly/animalistic thing to eat with your hands*. So they can continue to see them as not human because they "don't eat like one".
*see the republican reaction to mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani doing so.
What are you talking about? Americans eat with their hands all the time. Sandwiches, hot dogs, hamburgers, corn on the cob, pizza, and yes, burritos. I can almost guarantee every one of those ICE agents eats multiple meals a week with their hands. Are you even American?
They're being abused because they're being deprived food, not because they aren't given a cloth napkin and a set of utensils to eat a burrito.
Yeah that's what concentration camps are. Our hands have never been clean, but we are doing some truly evil shit right now.
Republicans: Wait, those things get a meal every day?! Can’t they make it one every, I dunno, 3-5?
What the hell is a "ICE Office"? You mean an internment camp?
No, I don't think so. It seems like it's literally an office where they, in less draconian times, would bring detainees to be processes and then sent on to an actual detention facility. It has "holding rooms" where people would be held until being transferred. Those rooms are bullet proof glass with just a sink and a toilet.
Now, according to the article, the rooms are packed with up to 80 people for a week at a time. They have no access to basic hygiene nor medical care. An internment camp carries the implication that it is built with the intention of holding a large number of people. These are literally just cells in a processing office that is packed full of people who are being treated even more inhumanely (if that's possible) than those in internment camps.
they're trying to put everyone who isn't rich in these fucking cages and we need to make it SOCIALLY INFEASIBLE to be LEO as long as they all goose-step along with this shit
Americans have "biz as usual"d themselves into open Nazism, I can't fucking stand them
Same shit happening in my city. And they won’t let anyone in to observe conditions there.
Plenty of Germans, before and during WW II, did not know WTF was really occurring in a KZ.
A burrito.
