Calling it now:
The here and there stories that are popping up about what ICE agents are doing to women in custody will grow worse -- and multiply.

We know that areas of conflict have a record of using sexual violence as a weapon for terror and control: Israel, Bosnia + Herzegovina, DRC, Nigeria, Syria, Tigray, Rwanda, Myanmar, Ethiopia, etc. The US (using ICE) will be no different.

In the case of the US it's going to be used to reinforce the racial line - racial superiority to POC and punishment of white people who betray Whiteness.

Because that's what America's original boogeyman is. It is allllllll about race here.

Not saying this to scare anyone into inaction but to get folks prepared and to watch for it.

@DeliaChristina Absolutely. They're already doing it - _formally, explicitly_ - against LGBTQ people, they'll be moving against people of colour next.

DHS orders removal of anti-rape protections in ICE facilities:

DOJ orders remove of anti-rape protections and rape statistics gathering in Federal prisons, and formally told prisons and jails they would not be held responsible for rapes of LGBTQ+ people:

LGBTQ Nation

Trump just told inspectors to stop tracking anti-LGBTQ+ prison rapes - LGBTQ Nation

The revised policy "will immediately put people in danger," one expert said.
LGBTQ Nation

Trump ends rape protections for trans inmates in ICE facilities and U.S. prisons - LGBTQ Nation

New guidance cites Trump’s executive order "Defending Women From Gender Ideology Extremism" as the reason.
