In this moment, we must reject fear and be the relentless force that ensures justice is not just a promise, but a reality. Our fight continues until ICE and private detention centers are made relics of a dark time in our country’s history.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.gov3d ago(source)

With over ONE THOUSAND documented instances of ICE using physical force against against detained individuals, ICE has proven - once again - it cannot be reformed. It must be abolished. Close private detention centers. End the violence.

Internal ICE records reveal widespread use of force in detention centers

The reports detail how guards have increasingly used chemical agents and physical tactics on detainees, including groups demanding adequate water, food and medical care.
