US Holds Migrants for 'Weeks' in Torture, Media Not Shocked
New data, exclusively shared with Axios, reveals ICE has been putting nearly 14,000 people in solitary confinement, sometimes for weeks, stretching out to 38 days on average for 'vulnerable' detainees. This, the UN *gasp* calls 'psychological torture.' Meanwhile, the same government funds regimes openly engaged in collective punishment abroad, while treating its domestic asylum seekers with
similar cruelty. The sheer audacity to 'report' this as though it's an anomaly, rather than a feature of a profit-driven detention system, is remarkable. The media routinely highlights abstract 'human rights concerns' when condemning adversaries, yet treats the systemic abuses within ICE as if they’re unfortunate bugs, not deeply ingrained design choices. One might wonder why there's always an
'underreporting' caveat when it comes to government data on its own abuses, but never when compiling intelligence on foreign 'threats.' It's almost as if the truth is inconvenient when it's happening at home.
