Listen to this. That attorney alerts on the terrible and inhumane treatment of the ICE detainees in the concentration camps. No drinkable water, no food, a kid with appendicitis left alone with unbearable pain.
That is unacceptable and appalling.

I've been sent video from the end of the ICE raid at the Zipps on 32nd and Shea.
It shows protesters -- on the sidewalk, impeding no one -- getting drive-by maced by an ICE agent from a truck as it rolls away down the road.
Hard to see how such tactics are justifiable.
