This is a harrowing report of the inhuman treatment now being inflicted on people by Trump's ICE regime. It isn't hard to imagine these prisons developing into something even worse, like the camps in the Third Reich.

You know what? The EU & UK should put tariffs on US goods (from red states) in solidarity with Canada and Mexico. Rather than watching others get bullied and waiting our turn - we should unify against this bullying until the bully drops that behaviour.

No Tory has any credibility in anything to do with Brexit. None at all in any criticism of lying, corruption, abuse, or collusion with bad political actors. None. Quite honestly, Badenoch may as well make balloon animals as she snarks on about leaving the EHRC.
