Why This Matters
Your tax dollars fund torture:
The U.S. spends $3+ billion annually on the world's largest immigration detention system where people die from medical neglect, sleep on floors, and are denied basic human needs—while private prison companies profit from your tax money
Constitutional rights disappear in detention:
When government can detain people indefinitely without adequate medical care, legal representation, or oversight, it sets precedent for how authorities can treat any group they target—including American citizens who are already being wrongfully detained
Deaths from preventable causes:
At least 9 people died in ICE custody during Trump's first 100 days from suicide, medical neglect, and inadequate care—showing how detention conditions kill people while Republicans celebrate the cruelty
Systematic elimination of oversight:
Trump eliminated civil rights watchdogs and detention oversight agencies, meaning abuses continue with no accountability while Congress gets denied access to investigate conditions
Designed cruelty as policy:
Republicans are building detention centers in remote locations like the Everglades specifically to make escape impossible and increase suffering, revealing how cruelty is the point rather than a side effect
American citizens targeted:
ICE is wrongfully detaining U.S. citizens in this system, proving that when constitutional protections break down for one group, they disappear for everyone—your citizenship won't protect you from government abuse
