ICE is running death camps? Let me guess, the showers are totally secret gas chambers and ICE is collecting shoes in heaps for unclear purposes too.
Sorry to hear this type of law-enforcement will have consequences for congressional redistricting that don’t suit you. You can always try a little chamomile tea.
They didn't say ICE was running death camps, please put on your glasses. They said CECOT is essentially a death camp - which is true.
It's a prison that we have no information on in a totalitarian country. We do know they routinely torture their prisoners. I would think Americans, of all people, would take issue with this.
Evidently, the fascists to be in the US are becoming far too brazen.
>They said CECOT is essentially a death camp - which is true.
Because people are held there for life, or that the death rates there are high?
If you would just extend your quote, like, a couple more sentences, you would see why I said it's a death camp.
That's a neat trick though, including a quote of just a tiny part to give the impression I'm talking out of my ass. Doesn't really work however, because I actually have eyeballs and I think most people here do.
We can just... you know... look, like, 2 inches up.
If you're talking about

I agree that americans should take issue with this, but as bad as totalitarianism and torture is, those do not make a death camp. By the same token, for all the human right abuses committed in Guantanamo Bay, it's not a death camp. Yes, totalitarian torture camps are bad, and so are death camps, but they're separate things and we shouldn't be in the habit of equating bad-but-not-death camps to Auschwitz just to score some rhetorical points.
Splitting hairs between "death camp" and "torture camp" doesn't change the rhetorical meaning of their post, so they didn't score any additional "points" (who is keeping score? Is this a game?); systematically torturing people is just as depraved as systematically murdering them.
"They only brought a meal once a day and it had maggots. They never take off the lights for 24 hours. The mosquitoes are as big as elephants," La Figura said.
"They're not respecting our human rights," one man said during the same call. "We're human beings; we're not dogs. We're like rats in an experiment."
"I'm on the edge of losing my mind. I've gone three days without taking my medicine," he said. "It's impossible to sleep with this white light that's on all day."
He also claimed his Bible was confiscated.
"They took the Bible I had and they said here there is no right to religion. And my Bible is the one thing that keeps my faith, and now I'm losing my faith," he said.

inhumane conditions =/= "death camps". There probably is a point where conditions are inhumane enough to cause deaths (think starvation), that it can be called a "death camp" but so far as I can tell from the wikipedia article it's nowhere near that. The article doesn't even mention how many people died there. However, it does mention a poorly supported theory on reddit/X that there's satellite images of body mounds that were subsequently hidden, so that might be what people were thinking of?
