Kristi Noem's DHS adds blasphemy to its list of offenses msnbc.com/opinion/msnbc-opinio “Ostentatious religiosity is often an attempt to overcompensate for some decidedly less-divine behavior. The Trump administration’s draconian deportation regime’s defending such evil with Bible verses is a recent example…” #MAGA #AlligatorAuschwitz #immigration #TheCrueltyIsThePoint #fascism

#Louisiana’s prison system has kept thousands of incarcerated people behind bars for weeks, months or sometimes >1 year after they were supposed to be released, records show. And the #DOJ accused #SouthCarolina of institutionalizing thousands of people diagnosed with serious mental illnesses—sometimes for decades—rather than provide services that would allow them to live in less restricted settings, as is their right under federal #law.

The matching firsthand accounts across multiple interviews offer the most complete view yet of conditions inside the mega prison, where inmates are denied access to lawyers & almost all contact with the outside world — & where about 14,000 Salvadorans remain incarcerated. Few detainees have ever left #CECOT, & fewer have spoken publicly of their experience there.

The Washington Post · ‘Welcome to hell’: Inside the megaprison where the U.S. deported migrantsBy Samantha Schmidt

Building the facility in the #Everglades & naming it after a notorious federal prison were meant as deterrents, #DeSantis & other #Republican ofcls have said.

The #Trump admin has delighted in the area’s remoteness & the fact that it is teeming w/ pythons & alligators. It hopes to convey a message to detainees & the rest of the world that repercussions will be severe if the #immigration laws of the #US are not followed.

“I think you’re going to see the numbers go up dramatically,” #DeSantis said during a news conference near the #Florida #detention center.

Ofcls said that 2 or 3 flights have departed from the site so far, but they didn’t say where those flights headed.

Critics have condemned the facility as #cruel & #inhumane. DeSantis & other #Republican ofcls have defended it as part of the state’s aggressive push to support #Trump’s crackdown on illegal immigration.

#Deportation flights from the remote Everglades immigration lockup known as ”#AlligatorAlcatraz″ began in the past few days, #Florida Gov #DeSantis said Friday.

The flights operated by #DHS have transferred about 100 detainees from the #immigration #detention center to other countries, said DeSantis, who expects that number to increase soon.

The Republican Congress has now cancelled #PublicBroadcasting and #UNICEF. I'm confused because I have a distinct memory of Republicans routinely boasting that "America is the richest country that's ever existed."

How did Republicans' souls become so impoverished that they're now snatching away assistance to children? When did the soul of this country become so impoverished that we put these motherfuckers in a position to do this?
