At the South Louisiana Ice processing centre, an all-female facility that is also operated by the Geo Group and where Ozturk is now being held, the ACLU of Louisiana recently filed a complaint to the DHS’s civil rights division alleging an array of rights violations. These included inadequate access to medical care, with the complaint stating: “Guards left detained people suffering from severe conditions like external bleeding, tremors, and sprained limbs unattended to, refusing them access to diagnostic care”.
The complaint was filed in December 2024, before the Trump administration moved to gut the DHS’s civil rights division earlier this month.
Maybe we should, like, storm one of these ice facilities, have our own bastille day.
ICE is perfectly happy to ignore the law just as Fuhrer Trump has instructed, so they shouldn’t get to enjoy the law’s protections anymore. I’d love nothing more than to see the people storm ICE facilities, free the prisoners, and burn those places to the ground.
