1.) THREAD: ICE Facility, my sister, and COVID-19

My sister has been in prison for several years due to a drug charge. For some reason (we don’t know why), she was just placed in an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention facility. However, she’s a U.S. Citizen.
2.) To make matters worse, she just tested positive for COVID-19 along with 18-20 other undocumented Immigrant women. She told me that the ICE detention facility is extremely dirty, and there is hardly any way to social distance and stay clean.
3.) She told me that her and the other women with COVID-19 were just placed in a tiny room to “quarantine.” She is scared and terrified not only for herself but the Immigrant women. She told me some of the ICE agents are not treating them well. They’re mean and rude.
4.) I say all of this because: 1.) I don’t know why my sister, a U.S. Citizen, is located in an ICE facility. 2.) To bring awareness that my sister nor the immigrant women are treated well. 3.) The ICE facility is nasty and dirty.
5.) 4.) For you to pray for my sister and the many Immigrant women crammed together. 5.) I know my sister and many of the Immigrant women made mistakes, but they still deserve to be treated as humans created in God’s Image. They also deserve to be protected from COVID-19.
