Remember: the only reason that makes sense why #ICE would deny clergy access to the #Broadview detention facility to minister to the detainees is because they believe the substantial bad press and messaging damage from publicly denying clergy access is less bad than the damage that would result from the clergy seeing inside the facility and telling people what they saw.

ICE in Chicago keeps getting caught making false police reports.
ICE just lost in court in Chicago.
A judge literally had to order that ICE:
- provide three edable meals per person per day
- actually supply basic ass things like soap, tooth paste and menstral products
- provide people adequate water to drink, free of charge
Bruh, if ICE has to be told in court to do the BARE minimum to keep detainees alive its not a prison, its a concentration camp.

"Pope Leo's comments strengthen the resolve of those of us in the United States who remain deeply committed to welcoming the stranger," said Kerry Alys Robinson, president & CEO of Catholic Charities USA, a national federation of 168 #Catholic #charity agencies.
#PopeLeo, the first #US pope, has been ramping up his disapproval of the #Trump admin's treatment of #immigrants.

"There's a deep reflection that needs to be made in terms of what's happening," the pontiff said on Tuesday, when asked about the condition of #immigrants detained at a federal facility in #Broadview, #Illinois, near #Chicago.
"I know how much it means to detainees & their families that #PopeLeo is paying close attention to the suffering of migrants & their families here," Chicago Cardinal Blase Cupich told Reuters.

While the conditions that ICE operates its kidnapping centers in is obviously deplorable, I have a hard time seeing how this aspect alone is significantly different than many typical jails in the US.
Overall I think people are just for once allowing themselves to question how necessary are these ICE torture tactics.
ICE kidnapping centers are not the only prisons operating like this.
What I really want people to understand is that these ICE jails, even when they loose in court, are not being shutdown yet. They also may not even attempt to comply with these orders, time will tell I guess.
Little help for people already kidnapped by ICE.
Ricardo Rodriguez went out for a bike ride to get groceries. Instead of returning with food he got jumped by ICE and hospitalized!
His family is wondering if a glimpse they saw of him in the ER was their last.
