      That’s why you make them work, so they are profitable. They can regain their freedom that way.

      We could put them in a place that has a sign that says ‘Work will set you free’ over the gate.

    To the guy on EE’s conservative community, whose name I don’t care to remember, who said I should “calm down” when I said this was going to happen… haha bitch, I was right.

    On Monday, June 23, ICE’s detention level was — on paper at least — at over 140% capacity, since Congress last allocated 41,500 detainee beds for the agency, the figures show.
