“At one point he said he overheard a security guard talking about bets made among the staff over which detainee would be next to die by suicide. The guard said he had paid $500 into a pool, with the total pot riding on the outcome. The talk was particularly jarring, he said, because he had contemplated suicide himself.”

911 calls reveal pain, despair at ICE'S largest detention camp

The calls to 911 poured in from staff at Camp East Montana, the nation's largest U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facility, in its first months of operation in El Paso, Texas. The emergencies included repeated suicide attempts by detainees, seizures, injuries from fights and a pregnant woman in pain. Data from more than a hundred 911 calls obtained by The Associated Press, interviews with detainees and court filings offer a portrait of overcrowding, medical neglect, malnutrition and emotional distress. A Department of Homeland Security spokesperson rejected claims of subprime conditions, saying detainees receive food, water and medical treatment in a facility that's regularly cleaned.

“Every day felt like a week. Every week felt like a month. Every month felt like a year,” said Owen Ramsingh, a former property manager in Columbia, Missouri, who spent several weeks in the camp before his deportation in February to the Netherlands. “ #CampEastMontana was 1,000% worse than a prison.”

The hidden ICE blueprint that should horrify every American

An internal Department of Homeland Security document shows how ICE plans to cram thousands of detained human beings inside a Georgia warehouse.

Excerpt: "A once sleepy rural town named Social Circle, Ga. — just over 40 miles east of Atlanta off Interstate 20 — has become the epicenter of the stealthy plan by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (#ICE) to rapidly create an American gulag archipelago of massive former warehouses adapted into detainment camps for arrested #immigrants.

"The plan to convert a newly built 1.2 million-square-foot warehouse into a #ConcentrationCamp where as many as 8,500 humans — double the size of the current largest federal prison — would be housed for as long as 60 days (or likely more) has riled up both residents and public officials in a place where 75% voted for Donald Trump in 2024.

"The frustrated city manager of Social Circle, which was offered no input as a cash-flush ICE recently bought the spec warehouse for a whopping $128 million, told the Guardian that he’s denying the feds’ request to turn on the public water as they race to open their #DetentionCamp there as early as April."

To glimpse the future #homelessness #policy in the age of #Trump, consider 16 acres of scrubby pasture on the outskirts of #SaltLakeCity where #Utah plans to place as many as 1,300 #homeless people in what supporters call a services campus & critics a #DetentionCamp.

State planners say the site, announced last month after a secretive search, will treat addiction & mental illness & provide a humane alternative to the streets, where afflictions often go untreated & people die at alarming rates.
