DETAINED


Countless bodies are buried on the grounds of detention centers, housing thousands of families, in conditions not meant for human life, or even animals, how could you call, this the land of, opportunity when those seeking asylum are met with life in cages, split up from their families, how can you explain this. Whole communities being swept as ICE agents run wild, making massive arrests with no care for human life, as the politicians stay silent, their leader runs a muck, lives lost, raped and murdered, and still you don’t give a fuck, 40 new centers since 2017, 91% of people detained in facilities, that are privately owned, making profits off of misery. These “justice-free-zones” violating human rights, losing massive amounts of children, no solution in sight, no access to legal aid, or opportunity to set bail, no access to physical or mental healthcare, the cages are overflowing, deportations on the rise, and still you’re going to sit there and try to justify, putting a six year old child in front of a judge, expecting them to plead for their lives, what the fuck is wrong with you. How can you say that their lives do not affect your own, what if this was your family, im sayin what would you want to do, you should do something to counter this cause before its too late, there’s so much more that you can do other than just leave it to fate, how can you sleep at night, how can you sleep at night knowing what you have done, staying silent is supporting a new holocaust, why we all worry, how many more lives will have been lost, before we shut the centers down, and abolish ICE.
