    NBC found to be lying about conditions at ICE detention centers

    MSN

    Today, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is setting the record straight on NBC’s false claims that illegal aliens who are held at Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention facilities are receiving inadequate amounts of food," the release read.


    All detainees are provided with proper meals, medical treatment and have opportunities to communicate with their family members and lawyers," Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin was quoted as saying.

    “Meals are certified by dieticians. Ensuring the safety, security, and well-being of individuals in our custody is a top priority at ICE. Why does the media continue to push the lies of criminal illegal aliens in detention and villainize ICE law enforcement?” McLaughlin said.

    So your claim is that the Trump people making a claim is the same as a "finding" from a factual standpoint?

    Psychopathic administration

    Alicia Hopper is a nationally recognized counter-trafficking expert and policy advocate dedicated to combating human trafficking and exploitation. She has been instrumental in driving significant policy changes, including the creation and passage of Florida’s 2023 Anti-Grooming Bill, which aims to protect children from exploitation and serves as a model for similar legislation across the country. Hopper has also exposed critical flaws within the Unaccompanied Children (UC) program, highlighting its links to child trafficking and advocating for urgent reform. Her work has been pivotal in raising awareness about the vulnerabilities of unaccompanied minors and the need for improved safeguards and oversight in immigration policies.

    DeSantis and Homeland Security need to get together with the Department of Justice, because they're putting out wildly differing information. DeSantis, for example, says "all expenses are paid," for those self-deporting; the DOJ, on the other hand, says the individual must pay themselves, and bring their case for self-deportation before their hearing judge (which could take months.)

    For some reason you keep ignoring the people that have been sent there on accident when it was assumed that they had no right to be here

    If they are there, it is for a reason and they have to go. I can find nothing that corroborates your assertion- there are several leftists media who have said there might be but nothing I can find that says absolutely people are there who should not be

    The stupidity of this crap is overwhelming. If this guy shot a law-enforcement officer in New York City, there is no way the United States should be deporting this guy. He should be convicted of his crime and left to rot in jail in the United States.

    These are the type of people the Biden administration thought it was fine to release upon the legal citizens of the U.S. to commit offenses such as rape, kidnapping, attempted murder and murder.

    Can someone just answer me this one simple questions: What happened to "send them back to where they came from!"

    Now, I and other taxpayers are on the hook for feeding and housing them? Why? Is political stunting that important to MAGA? Will the sycophants go rogue/Epstein if not sufficiently tethered to MAGA with emotional candy like this?
