The recent developments regarding forced sterilizations in @ICEGov detention are horrific—but they aren’t isolated. Here is a list of atrocities @DHSGov has committed in just the last few months. THREAD:

ICE’s management of COVID-19 in their detention centers has been disastrous. With insufficient testing, minimal sanitary supplies, and virtually no ability to distance the people in detention, these centers have been “on fire” with COVID-19. 2/

While continuing to tear families apart, @ICEGov has also been caging kids in hotels for months. The agents left to “care” for these children have NOT been background checked, and the children are being denied legal representation. 3/

Judge Gee ordered the release of children in ICE custody, demanding that they be released in mid-July. ICE still has made no move to #FreeTheFamilies. 4/

Meanwhile, under @DHS_Wolf’s watch, DHS committed gross violations of protestors’ rights in Portland, kidnapping people off the streets using federal troops. 5/

At the same time, DHS officials have been working tirelessly to dismantle DACA, despite the Supreme Court ruling protecting Dreamers and blocking Trump’s last attempt to end the critical program. 6/

We also now know that @DHS_Wolf and @HomelandKen have been serving in office unlawfully. While all of this was happening under their watch, they weren’t even lawfully serving in their positions. 7/

This is a pattern of abuse. And the recent reports of forced sterilizations in ICE detention centers make one thing clear: with ICE, the cruelty is the point. That’s why we’re fighting to hold ICE accountable.
