"Dozens of men had been packed into a holding cell for hours, the report said, and denied lunch until about 7pm. They remained shackled with the food on chairs in front of them."

"Migrants at a Miami immigration jail were shackled with their hands tied behind their backs and made to kneel to eat food from styrofoam plates 'like dogs', according to a report published on Monday into conditions at three overcrowded south Florida facilities."

L’académie de Lille «rédeploie» des assistants de prévention et de sécurité et suscite la colère

Chargés de la #prévention de la #violence dans les collèges sensibles de l’académie de Lille, des personnels ont appris, du jour au lendemain, leur mutation vers d’autres établissements. Une décision jugée brutale et incohérente après les récentes attaques et violences en milieu scolaire.

"How big is the nearly $30 billion allocated for hiring ICE agents? As Aaron Reichlin-Melnick noted, the vote to approve the budget made ICE 'the highest-funded federal law enforcement agency in history, with more money per year at its disposal over the next four years than the budgets of the FBI, DEA, ATF, US Marshals, and Bureau of Prisons combined.'”

There are lots of photos from the Nazi years in Germany, photos showing smiling Germans standing under signs adorned with swastikas and reading, "Jews are our misfortune."

After the war, those who starred in these photos celebrating cruelty — rounding up targeted people, sending them to concentration camps and, ultimately, to be murdered — had to live with this photographic evidence.

“'People need to understand ICE officers and Border Patrol don't need probable cause to walk up to somebody, briefly detain them, and question them … based [in part] on their physical appearance,' Homan said."

"This morning on Fox News, Tom Homan, currently serving as Border Czar under President Donald Trump’s administration, made a legally dubious and deeply concerning claim about the power of immigration enforcement agents."

When we celebrate cruelty to others, we invite cruelty for ourselves and our families: we open the door to it.

And it will visit us with karmic certainty.

Their children and grandchildren had to live with the photos demonstrating that their parents or grandparents were really despicable human beings who could laugh as hapless others were consigned to unspeakable cruelty.

Karma has an eerie way of visiting us, and even visiting our family members down the generations.

"The ultimate goal of autocrats is to gain enough power to have a monopoly on who can tell the stories about the past and the present. And yet truth comes out in the end, despite their efforts, because such holes in the heart and the historical record have always been calls to action."

"Autocrats know that when disappeared people reappear, truths are spoken, and forbidden histories are written, this punctures veils of silence and engineered forgetting, reminds people of the moral collapse that comes from complicity with dictatorship, and complicates the revisionist histories authoritarian states produce and circulate."

As Roger Parloff reports, the goal of the Trump administration in its criminal case and civil litigation against Abrego Garcia is not about upholding the rule of law, but rather contributing to President Trump’s political messaging.

Abrego Garcia's innocence, his wrongful detention and torture, the lies told about him: all take second place to what Trump wants.

"Adam Boyd, a 33-year-old attorney who resigned from ICE’s legal department last month, told me he left because the mission was no longer about protecting the homeland from threats. 'It became a contest of how many deportations could be reported to Stephen Miller by December,' Boyd said. ...

'I had to make a moral decision,' he told me."
