Largest growth in detention numbers comes from people with no criminal histories, who now make up a third of ICE detention amid dangerous overcrowding and lucrative contracts for private contractors.
This is how the U.S. creates generational cycles of poverty, populates its prisons, and keeps its lower-paid workers from complaining or sticking their heads up too much. We attack that one segment of society that can't fight back (by voting), and sentence their kids, jobs, and communities to the loss of their income, care, love and brain power. We rob ourselves of their talents and their contributions to our economy. We tell ourselves they're "taking our jobs" - when in reality they're creating MORE jobs by being willing to do the grunt work that born-in-the-U.S.A. citizens think we're too good for. They shore us up and they put money in our pockets. But sure, take that away and break the back of the small businessman That's what an oligarchy does.
Then, rather than seeing the theft of our neighbors as the horrific 'sin' it truly is, those USAmerican citizens who have just a few more rights than the current victims of the destruction - pile onto the hatred and vilify their neighbors. It gives them an outlet for the seething rage they've internalized throughout their lives from being plastered to the ground by consistent religious, societal and family messaging that tells them they have no power. "At least I'm not THAT guy," they rationalize, as they don their Confederate flag-laden wardrobes and mount their souped-up F150s with the "Trump" and "Don't Tread on me" stickers and the double gun racks in the cab.....
And, finally, when the immigrant has been deported, and his family and the community are in tatters, the oligarchs can pick and choose which communities they would like to swoop in and "save...." By building factories, businesses and mega-churches that further exploit those who are left, under-paying and over-working them, refusing them medical care and retirement income, over-charging them at every store they could possibly need, and controlling their rents and utilities so that they are never able to build up any generational wealth. Oh, and of course, the oligarchs will not build just anywhere.... They need to make sure they have tax breaks and incentives offered to them from the towns, cities and states where they want to build. Which, of course, the citizens and employees of those communities also pay for.
And that, my friends, is the U.S. American 'system.'

Here’s how we stop ICE kidnappings for good— and in the most effective, peaceful way possible:
The highest is history, yet still far short of the "millions" claimed to be here.
I hope these people are released safely soon. Maybe then we can deport all the Maga leadership and half the people who voted for them...
