While Kristi Noem's Department of Homeland Security and the ICE Gestapo are certainly working hard to keep the horrifying conditions inside our concentration camps a secret, the reality is that more evidence supporting the whistleblowers accounts above keeps emerging every day. Take for example this February 10th Guardian piece about an Irish man held for five months in a Texas concentration camp; a story that likely held the national media's interest only because the kidnapped man was white, but is more important to us here because his testimony matches closely enough with the reports of abuses that amounted to intentional torture we've already seen, to suggest this is a systemic atrocity.
Irish man held in ICE detention says he fears for his life and asks Ireland for help
"An Irish man who has been held by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement for five months despite having a valid work permit and no criminal record says he fears for his life and has appealed for help from Ireland’s government.
Seamus Culleton said conditions at his detention centre in Texas were akin to “torture” and that the atmosphere was volatile. “I’m not in fear of the other inmates. I’m afraid of the staff. They’re capable of anything.”
Speaking from the El Paso facility to Ireland’s RTÉ radio, Culleton implored the taoiseach, Micheál Martin, to raise his case with Donald Trump when he visits the White House next month for St Patrick’s Day celebrations."
First of all, virtually no other outlet talking about this right now has included Culleton's quote about not being afraid of other camp inmates, but being terrified of the DHS/ICE monsters running the camp, who he feels are capable of anything - meaning violence. If you read the rest of the story however, you'll discover that Culleton, who is married to an American citizen and had a waiver to work (and thus reside) in the country, was snatched up right before the final hearing that would have resulted in him obtaining a full green card. Which mirrors other evidence and testimony we've seen that strongly implies this is quite intentional - DHS is kidnapping people and torturing them to try and force a deportation (self or otherwise) before they can obtain papers that secure their residency in America.
Furthermore, Cullenton goes on to describe conditions at the El Paso concentration camp, that directly mirror the testimony of the whistleblower who worked at the Baltimore concentration camp I shared with you in the post above this one.
"Culleton told RTÉ he had been locked in the same room with 71 other detainees in squalid conditions and with insufficient food and negligible time outside for fresh air, sunshine or exercise.
“You don’t know what’s going to happen on a day-to-day basis. You don’t know if there’s going to be riots, you don’t know what’s going to happen. It’s a nightmare down here.” Showers and toilets were “filthy” and daily meals were child-sized, he said. “So everybody is hungry.”
So that's again massive overcrowding, dangerously unhygienic conditions, intentional starvation, and warehousing people in cages for long periods of time; all confirmed. Sounds like a concentration camp to me; how about you?
