Trump is influencing the use of concentration camps all across United States borders to prevent opportunities for immigrants through the usage of harassment and inadequate conditions, as well as ceasing to act on the increasing populations within these dreadful prison camps. ICE has done nothing to prevent this nor have officials tried to lessen these unfair acts of hatred and bigotry. And the Federal government has done NOTHING to stop this!

We have known for months that ICE agents are separating family members and putting them in different facilities -- mostly to discourage future immigrants from trying to enter the country. But we hadn't known until recently that ICE agents are simply letting hundreds of them disappear into potential child labor -- or even sex trafficking-- circles. This is frankly terrible and should be halted immediately.

Furthermore, the conditions under which immigrants are forced to endure is horrific, often times leading to death. In addition, these migrants would be injected with psychotropic drugs that render detainees unable to walk, afraid of people, and wanting to sleep constantly. These are in no way stable living conditions in which ANYONE should be forced to endure the trauma as their means of support.

Not to mention President Trump said in a tweet Monday night (June 17) that U.S. Immigration agents are planning to make mass arrests starting “next week,” an apparent reference to a plan in preparation for months that aims to round up thousands of migrant parents and children in a blitz operation across major U.S. Cities.

That's only the beginning. There is so much more that under the influence of ICE has worsened, as Trump's tenure is coming to a close. We must act responsibly and abolish ICE before we begin to see the disastrous effects of doing nothing. That's why I'm asking that you join me in the initiative to #AbolishICE. No one can be illegal on stolen land.

I am looking at the screen and honestly struggling to find the right words. This progress belongs entirely to the people who took a moment to join this cause when it felt like a quiet cry in the dark. It is clear now that this issue is something far more people care about than I ever dared to imagine.

The current immigration enforcement system prioritizes the criminalization of individuals over human dignity; by treating civil administrative infractions with carceral tactics and inhumane detention conditions, the agency fundamentally undermines the basic human rights and due process that should be the foundation of a just society.

Need to shut this down now. Totally inhuman and nobody seems to be listening to the families. Just awful.
