Not exactly surprising coming from the same administration that has shipped people off to CECOT and which lauded the existence of "Alligator Alcatraz." This is state-sanctioned torture.
Thank you for bringing this to light Judd. I'm ashamed at the complete lack of humanity in our government. And it's even worse than that. They are thinking of every instance where they can make people's lives more difficult and turning it into policy.
You are right. "They" are working overtime to find the tiniest place where kindness and social welfare benefits someone other than their cretin, knuckle-dragging cohort which is the uneducated white masses yearning to be billionaires when they can't pay their electric bill.
Not sure some of them would recognize that they have been left behind in the ruts left by the bus. It's the psychology of the victim staying or going back to the abuser.
The Republican mantra has become "If you're not suffering, I'm not happy." What is wrong with these people? Do they really believe the lies they spew or do they rely on the ignorance of their base? And what happens to all the money they save by neglecting folks?
"What happens to all the money..." is such a good question. Where is the millions, billions, so-called trillions that tariffs have brought in? Why doesn't a reporter call the orange turd's bluff when he says "trillions" and ask, "Where is it? Show us the receipts."
They're inching closer and closer to the Noem Method: if your pet annoys you, shoot it. If your goat smells bad, shoot it. If your detainees need medical care ... well, we can see the direction this is heading. Callous and incompetent leadership throughout this regime highlights exactly who these immoral fools are that DJT has put in place.
It could happen, unless we RESIST! Americans are rising up, increasingly. I hope we all continue to have courage to speak up, speak out, and reject this horrible dehumanizing pogrom.
Sounds to me like charges of involuntary manslaughter should be brought against ICE personnel if detainee-deaths happen because of inadequate healthcare.
Well well, all the more reason for Canadian snowbirds to not utilize the United States as their winter feeding grounds. Such a sad State of affairs. Wish everyone in the states luck.
The cancer that is metastasizing is the corruption throughout the right wing, They are simply hateful people who use their luck in being born in America as a cudgel to harm those who are not white and not citizens.
Oh yes, it is happening to US citizens too. They don't care. They're not going to check your ID because they would not be able to put you in jail if they do.
Robert, I hope you are right, this is not who we are, but I fear that this is who many of our fellow citizens are. They have swallowed the message that they can't do well if others are taken care of. That "red meat" constantly thrown to them to justify every grievance they have continues to make them angrier and more accepting of cruelty.
What have we become? This is something one would expect to find in third-world countries, without a democracy and or a Constitution. These are living souls, and they do not deserve illegal torture at the hands of our government. Our government only has the authority "We the People" granted, and I do not believe "We the people" have authorized any of this.
While the Supreme Court has extended the President's immunity, it has not expanded the immunity of government workers from criminal or civil actions. If one of these people dies while in Immigration custody, and the people responsible knew of their being denied life-saving medical attention, they could be charged under both civil and criminal law. Depending on the circumstances and the knowledge the government had at the time, it could result in a criminally negligent homicide charge.
Remember, this is in California, and homicide is a State crime that California could charge, regardless of the current administration's apparent condoning of the behavior.
We can find the funds to offer $10,000 signing bonuses to new ICE agents who are being deployed to our streets without the typical six months of training. We observe these agents exceeding their authority, detaining U.S. citizens, and engaging in warrantless searches and seizures.
At the same time, we have our Navy bombing boats more than 1,000 miles from our shores on the basis that they might be transporting drugs. Trump and Hegseth think killing and abusing people make them look strong. It actually reveals their fear of the unknown, and it will ultimately come back to haunt both of them. Their creator is watching...
I just can't come to terms with this being acceptable to the majority of our country. I am a former federal law enforcement agent, and this is not what we were taught or how we conducted ourselves.
I hope I wake up from this nightmare to realize none of this actually happened.
Thank you once again Judd for exposing the horrors of this regime. These poor people deserve better as fellow human beings. It is beyond disgusting to see another of their cruel ploys against those who are deemed less worthy. The days just keep getting sadder...
This story is so important. They are detaining people who have no criminal record. They are depriving them of their due process rights, they are depriving them of medical care. Immoral. Illegal.
Thank you for bringing another deadly trump admin fiasco to the forefront. The mentally declining, and bloated trump and his incompetent admin are deadly in so many ways...
Suspect the GOP want to kill the old, sick & disabled like they did in Nazi Germany - all intentional. Bet that’s why healthcare, Medicare & Medicare is being gutted too. In their world only the wealthy are worthy of survival with the best treatments at taxpayers expense.
Suspect Immigrants are just the starting g point/ they want to access if there will be any blowback.
Thank you. The cruelty is the point. There just is no bottom.

You are assuming they care about the base. The instant the base is no longer usefull, under the bus they go.

Great Report PI!
"What happens to all the money..." is such a good question. Where is the millions, billions, so-called trillions that tariffs have brought in? Why doesn't a reporter call the orange turd's bluff when he says "trillions" and ask, "Where is it? Show us the receipts."
The reporters already know there are only a couple hundred Billion in tariff income. The Treasury Dept reports the revenue every month.
They're inching closer and closer to the Noem Method: if your pet annoys you, shoot it. If your goat smells bad, shoot it. If your detainees need medical care ... well, we can see the direction this is heading. Callous and incompetent leadership throughout this regime highlights exactly who these immoral fools are that DJT has put in place.
If we have too many detainees...
Complete your sentence. Your intent is unclear.
Killing them wholesale. That's where I think this is going. It can happen here.
It could happen, unless we RESIST! Americans are rising up, increasingly. I hope we all continue to have courage to speak up, speak out, and reject this horrible dehumanizing pogrom.
Absolutely disgusting. This current administration is profoundly corrupt and cruel.
Sounds to me like charges of involuntary manslaughter should be brought against ICE personnel if detainee-deaths happen because of inadequate healthcare.

Judd, Thank You!,Thank You!,Thank You!
Outstanding reporting that every American should know!
Should be call the their Congressperson & Senators demanding correction!
Is this who we are?
I believe not!

Thank you, Judd and team, for continuing to investigate and cover stories we would otherwise never hear.
Now, what do we do? I will be contacting my representatives, but these days it just doesn’t seem to be enough.

They do. Read Project 2025.
