seriously wondering if Biden could pick up some MAGA voters if he stops blaming the "prior administration" and just fucking owns the "barbaric" conditions in ICE under his watch.
"A spokesperson for the Biden Administration said that the reports depict conditions during the "prior administration," and an industry group that represents the private operators of ICE detention facilities said that the reports were "outdated."
Attorneys and advocates for immigrants however, contend that the conditions inside ICE detention have not improved, largely because of problems exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic.

President Biden pledged during his campaign to "end" the use of for-profit detention centers, but advocates and lawyers for immigrants have criticized his administration for breaking that promise. The number of people in ICE detention has nearly doubled since Biden's inauguration, and most of them are in facilities run by for-profit companies.
In one instance, a prison that closed following a Biden administration order to phase out privately run Federal Bureau of Prisons facilities was essentially converted into a privately run ICE detention center. ICE is also fighting New Jersey's effort to close a for-profit detention center in the state — an ICE official said in a court filing that closing the facility would be "catastrophic."
An ACLU analysis found that as of July 2023 nearly 91 percent of ICE detainees were being held in privately run detention facilities.

NPR first requested the inspection reports under the Freedom of Information Act in 2019, but the government initially refused to provide a single page of the documents.
After exhausting the FOIA appeals process, NPR filed a lawsuit against the Department of Homeland Security in September 2020.
The government argued in court that releasing the records without major redactions, which covered dozens of pages, would make it difficult for inspectors to provide their "uninhibited opinions and recommendations" and could "cause public confusion."
Federal Judge Royce Lamberth rejected DHS's arguments, found that the government had violated the Freedom of Information Act and ordered it to release the files. After initially appealing the ruling, the government provided the documents in the spring of 2023. NPR continues to seek more recent reports from these inspectors."
It's about fucking time the democrats came to reality on immigration.
The world has a lot of problems, there being 8 billion people is the main one causing most the other problems. They can't all come here or the US will import the problems they are fleeing

Huh.
Usually your sort panics about birth rates, not overpopulation.
New York plans to spend a billion dollars over the next few years to house illegals in hotels. But why?? Who can justify any of this anymore. Stop illegal immigration
the next time one of you malcontents want to filthy mouth the greatest country on earth. just remember. we shelter our illegals in a hotel room in the greatest city on earth.
Have we fallen into a mesmerized state that makes us accept as inevitable that which is inferior or detrimental, as though having lost the will or the vision to demand that which is good?
