Delaney Hall in Newark is a privately owned immigration detention facility, paid for by taxpayers, with apparently zero oversight. How is this even possible in the USA?

(60,103 posts)It's where they put the young women and older girls. It's a place no one but the guards have access to and for which there is no oversight too.
We all know what is going on in there. And if it's happening there, it's happening in other centers too.
My family friend who was taken, a 19 year old boy, was held for two months before he was deported. He was taken in the clothing he was wearing in an emergency room after a head injury sustained from playing a college sport. He received no further medical intervention after he was taken. In the two months before he was deported, he was given a sweatshirt but no other clothing. He was moved from center to center without any explanation. He wore the same clothes for 2 months. The food was also scarce.
This is America today.

As long as no one challenges these bastards, they're gonna keep doing it. Sherrill should slap 'em down hard, and say, "Okay, who's next?"

(12,613 posts)I recall reading the book when it was first published. I enjoyed the read but thought it was 'out there,' even for speculative fiction.
I was 100% wrong. Atwood saw the debacle coming.
