You can reach out to the ACLLU of Iowa to learn more and get more involved in your local community to educate others and campaign to have these removed. We don't want warrantless surveillance, especially one monitored by a 3rd party with no oversight.

They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.

There is no sight that more efficiently puts the lie to immigration “court” than the common sight of children “representing themselves.” Children too small to climb into the chair, children in pajamas who don’t know where they are, children not yet old enough to speak.

That's where they went wrong. If you want to move drugs into America and get away with it you gotta move weight. Think 400 tons of cocaine. Create an entire new class of addictive painkillers but pretend they're harmless. Build the dark web to facilitate P2P illicit shipping.
