"An email sent to thousands of people yesterday by the Department of Homeland Security escalates the abuse. The automated note refers to the 'termination of parole' and seeks to frighten its recipients by warning that if they don’t leave the U.S. 'immediately you will be subject to potential law enforcement actions that will result in your removal.'”

"Tom Lee, head of research at FSInsights: 'In the last few days, we have had many conversations with macro fund managers, and their concern is that the WH is not acting rationally, but rather on ideology.

"They have no blankets or pillows, no visits or phone calls, and they mostly sit in silence all day long for fear of being punished by the armed guards wearing balaclavas. Abuse, torture, disease, and death are all rampant. There are mass graves for the prisoners who die; their families are not notified of their passing."

"men lined up so tightly that they must kneel with their heads on the backs of their neighbor, their eyes lowered, their heads shaved during the intake process. They can then expect no sunlight, inadequate food and water, and housing in cells where 80 to 100 men are kept shoulder-to-shoulder."

"Last month, 238 Venezuelans were abducted and deported to a prison in El Salvador, El Centro de Confinamiento del Terrorismo (CECOT). The images of said prison should shock even the most jaded conscience:"
