How can we allow this to happen? It is our moral obligation to end this horrendous brutality initiated by the corrupt President of our United States and enforced by his personal Gestapo. Don't look away! Vote for the return of decency to our United States. Our grandparents, almost all of whom were immigrants, are weeping for what our country has become.

I didn't know whether to weep or vomit after reading this piece. I hope there will be some equivalent of the Nuremberg trials to bring the perpetrators-- from Trump on down to the lowliest guard-- to justice. But I'm not betting on it.

Beyond despicable, shameful. Horrifying. Thank you, Tim/Contrarians for publishing this information.

The topline findings are a gut punch:

Human Rights Watch and the ACLU found that people detained at Camp East Montana endured conditions of confinement that amounted to enforced disappearance; cruel, degrading and inhuman treatment; excessive use of force including one extrajudicial killing; life-threatening medical neglect; barriers to legal representation; and coercive third-country removals.

The rights groups concluded: “These abuses violate fundamental protections under U.S. and international human rights law.”

These crimes against humanity are being perpetrated by persons who do not expect a peaceful change of government in the United States any more.

Please send this to your Senators and Representatives Democrat and Republican alike with a note: HOW CAN YOU LET THIS HAPPEN IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA??? THERE ARE NO EXCUSES FOR THIS! FOR GOD’s SAKE, DO SOMETHING!! IF YOU CANNOT FIND THE SPINE TO FILE LAWSUITS INSISTING THAT HUMAN RIGHTS LAWS BE FOLLOWED, THEN GO THERE YOURSELF AND HOLD PRESS CONFERENCES INSIDE THE FACILITIES SO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE CAN SEE WHAT A HELLHOLE TRUMP AND HIS HENCHMEN ARE MAKING OUR COUNTRY INTO. SHAME! SHAME! SHAME!!

Remember the Nuremburg Trials? That is what will be needed when this is all over. Everyone complicit in these atrocities need to stand trial - from Trump on down.

Why isn't this story on every MSM website, and Congressional hearings being held???? What in the hell are the Dems doing to stop/prevent this???? Nada, nothing.

GEO is one of the companies running camps. Check your stock portfolios and funds and divest if any of them have GEO

Geo has nothing to do with Camp East Montana. It is run by Amentum Serices, Inc. The owners are American Securities, Lindsay Goldberg, Invesco and Black Rock.

These are all private equity funds and asset management companies. So you see, the rich are getting richer on the backs of immigrants, just like it has always been. Immigrants and slaves have been/are what makes the rich get richer. Nothing changes, other tan the middle class getting wiped out.

Never ever thought to have this happen in 21st century United States of America. The people who run this concentration camp will, hopefully, face a damning final judgment. I have sent this article to several people to post on a variety of social media and to forward to elected officials.

A training I attended noted that landscapers and construction workers were especially being targeted as they often are paid in cash. ICE arrests them, the cash disappears.
