Leaked video from inside ICE detention shows women trapped in desperate conditions—smuggled out by husband.

Used panties, moldy food, broken shoes, clothes that don't fit because made for men—and a toxic mattress made of insulation.

Gabriela Sousa came to U.S. legally granted humanitarian parole from Venezuela—and is married to U.S. citizen husband.

Her husband helped the women smuggle out this video they made—with testimonials from several women detained together in these inhumane conditions

The video was made secretly inside the Baker County ICE Detention Center in Macclenny, Florida.

It is physically impossible for cartilage tissue to heal this quickly in a 78 yr old man.

He was not shot with a .223 round. Not grazed. At this point, I don't believe there was any bleeding wound at all.

Refused treatment at hospital. No doctor's report. Press is silent.

"Did people walking around Civic Center Park even notice it was going on?"

"No, we had eyes on this the entire afternoon, there were people walking by enjoying the beautiful afternoon, and it was just quietly right there off to the side." (5 of 5) #OPCSolidarity

Housing is more expensive now. There are a few reasons for this.

Here in Chicago, one of those reasons isn’t super obvious—until you go to a community meeting for a local housing proposal. Here’s a thread about the absurdity of housing development in 2024🧵
