2 year old at Dilly trailer prison:

[applegrove]

Two-year-old Kaleth is being locked away at the Dilley trailer prison. He is getting sicker with each passing day. He will not eat the food CoreCivc serves, which detainees have said sometimes has mold and worms. He now has a fever.

So Don't

[malaise]

2. Fuck these monsters

[PatSeg]

3. God damn them all!

What kind of monsters do things like this?

[niyad]

6. Truly sick, twisted, demented, hate-filled, sadistic, perverted ones?

[PatSeg]

10. I've always known there were bad people

in this world, but I had no idea there were so many and so inexplicably cruel.

[niyad]

14. Sadly, I have always known this. But I had, optimistically, thought

we might be evolving.

11. "Slowly killing us on the inside": A family of 6 at Texas' Dilley ICE detention center begs for freedom

https://www.texastribune.org/2026/03/11/el-gamal-texas-egyptian-family-dilley-health-care-food-ice-detention-letters-children/

"... These are among the exclusive accounts from an Egyptian family imprisoned at the nation’s only family detention center for more than nine months, believed to be the longest held in that South Texas facility during President Donald Trump’s second administration. The declarations, which span 59 pages, include hand-written letters and pictures drawn by the five children. They were first obtained by The Texas Tribune before lawyers submit them to the U.S. Senate Committee on the Judiciary Wednesday.

Taken together, the family’s accounts provide what lawyers and child advocates call new and disturbing details into the conditions at the detention center in Dilley, about 70 miles southwest of San Antonio. The family, including the mother Hayam El Gamal and her five children ranging in ages from 5 to 18, detail what they describe as abhorrent medical care, inedible food and a disregard for their religious freedom as Muslims.

The family was detained after the father, Mohamed Sabry Soliman, was charged with attacking mostly Jewish protestors at a Boulder, Colo., event last June, accused of throwing Molotov cocktails at demonstrators supporting Israeli hostages. He allegedly wounded at least 29 people and an 82-year-old woman died from her injuries. The father, who has pleaded innocent, remains in federal custody on more than 100 charges related to the incident.

His wife, who wrote that she met her husband through an arranged marriage, and their children have repeatedly denied knowledge of his attack. They have consistently said that the father was emotionally and physically absent and barely spoke to them. The family has since disavowed the father and is no longer in contact with him, their attorney said. “We are six innocent people, including 5-years-old twins, trapped in a nightmare we didn’t create,” wrote Habiba El Gamal, the 18-year-old daughter..."

12. Trump is turning America into a vile Hellish dictatorship. I'm ashamed, angry, and feel helpless.

[calimary]

15. Don't include yourself in the helpless part, my friend.

I figure as long as we can breathe, move, find food, think for ourselves, and talk to each other, the likelihood of our surviving this mess is strong.

They may be able to fuck with some of us. Maybe a lot of us. But they will not and cannot beat all of us.

That’s the one thought that helps me keep going.

[AllyCat]

13. Goddammit these nasty, horrible people!!

This is a child who has no idea why he is there and what is happening to him!

[kimbutgar]

16. I hope and pray for karma to payback those that did this to this adorable child!

[debsy]

17. Our tax dollars at work.

18. Below is a description of CoreCivic from Wikipedia.

"CoreCivic, Inc. is an American private prison operator and one of the largest for-profit prison, jail and detention contractors in the United States. It has been the target of divestment campaigns, FBI investigations and lawsuits alleging civil rights violations and forced labor at some of its owned or operated 70 state and federal correctional and detention facilities in the U.S."

Private prisons make money on head count. Even a sick two-year-old earns profits for them. Integrity and humane treatment of people are not profitable.

[GiqueCee]

19. As unspeakably evil as...

... ICE agents and their superiors are, their malevolence is eclipsed by the soulless corporatists running CoreCivic. I generally abhor capital punishment, but I would make an exception in their case.
The malicious swine on the Dark Side of the Aisle conveniently forget about the maquiladoras in Mexico that work people like rented mules, and pay them next to nothing. And they kick dust all over home plate at the mere mention of Reagan funding and training death squads in Central America, which led to the failed gangster-states that now generate so many of the desperate refugees who risk their lives trying to enter the very country that deliberately caused the problems that spurred their exodus in the first place.
But the M$M now owned by Trump-loyalist billionaires won't allow such stories to be printed or aired.
And people wonder why I won't let a Republican in my house. Have you seen the cost of fumigation following such an infestation?
