What follows is super important to keep in mind. As the ACLU tweeted on Friday:
JUST IN: The Inspector General of DHS released a report showing ICE fails to meet basic detention standards, with little to no accountability.
This comes on the heels of DHS's plans to jail tens of thousands of immigrants, including children and their parents, on military bases.

The independent DHS Inspector General has exposed how ineffectual ICE inspections are, and how delinquent the agency is in addressing serious violations. In some cases, inspectors outright lied — and were caught by the Inspector General during the course of its investigation.

It's been clear for decades that ICE is a rogue agency with little to no oversight.
We're nearing 200 deaths in ICE detention. It's time to demand that Congress stop funding ICE's jailing of immigrants and reject Trump's attempts to build massive family prison camps.
