It’s been talked about for years. It’s been documented for years pero suddenly when it’s a huge mainstream human rights organization or the mainstream media saying it, it’s real.

I guess we should be happy that the issue of human rights violations in immigrant jails (detention facilities as they say in fancy speak) are getting any play at all. The real important point though is if all the attention leads to some real action on the part of the U.S. government. This means an end to raids that help fill up these jails until the current immigration system is overhauled.

No, I’m not holding my breath.
