1/14 Despite the urging to gather in groups no larger than 10 & the grave danger the #coronavirus can pose from its subtle spread through asymptomatic carriers, USCIS, ICE, & other immigration departments are pushing blindly ahead with normal or increased activity.

3/14 Immigration and asylum courts continue to hear cases unabated.

8/14 Even over fears for the health and lives of asylum seekers, immigration officers, and staff, this carries on.
9/14 And ICE continues to make arrests and pack its detention centers with immigrants, creating a veritable breeding ground for the virus while denying any cases have been found.

13/14 ICE claims there are no confirmed #coronavirus cases in its detentiopn centers, but with the vast majority of citizens unable to get tested, does anybody believe ICE, which denies basic medical attention to detainees, is testing for it?
14/14 Even in the middle of a major national crisis and the #CoronavirusPandemic, the cruelty is the point.

And on it goes. When does it stop? Is this who we are now, that even in the middle of a frightening pandemic we must persecute the most vulnerable among us?

3/5 Even as the DoJ is doing this, ICE's claim that its detainees are in no danger from the #coronavirus is, unsurprisingly, proving false.
4/5 At least two staffers in an ICE facility for unaccompanied minors have tested positive for #COVIDー19.
5/5 With immigrants locked up in close quarters with little to no access to basic hygiene or medicine, this could swiftly become a humanitarian disaster of even greater proportions than the Trump regime's treatment of immigrants already has been:
Oh, and it turns out that the DoJ wants to be able to hold ANYBODY indefinitely during an emergency, once again showing what the Trump regime thinks of the Constitution.
