I tried to stop this from happening. I tried to warn people what would happen. I saw it. I have been to these places. I have talked to former detainees. I know my shit. These are and always were concentration camps, and now they are death camps. You let yourselves be lulled.
And why is anyone still funding @CoreCivic? They pepper spray asylum-seekers to keep them quiet, they abuse them, they isolate them, and now they are killing them.
This is the same facility, in 2018. I took this video https://twitter.com/brooklynmarie/status/1010631315882795008?lang=en
We heard people calling out for help from inside the facility (as you can hear in the video) and then they abruptly fell silent. I later heard that was because they were being pepper sprayed. I said nothing at the time for fear of retribution against detainees.
