U.S. detains 59,000 non-criminal migrants: Humanitarian crisis or political failure

teleSUR English

Amid record-breaking immigration detention, nearly half of 59,000 detainees have no criminal history, including families and asylum seekers. They face dehumanizing conditions: rotten food, months in solitary confinement, and preventable deaths (23 fatalities since 2021, 95% avoidable with basic care). This system, expanded under Trump with facilities like Florida’s “Alligator Alcatraz,” deliberately uses suffering to coerce deportations.  #MigrantJusticeNow  #EndImmigrantDetention  #ICEcrisis  #HumanRightsViolation  #FreeThe59000  #NoMoreCages  #AsylumSeekers  #ImmigrationReform  #TelesurExclusive   These and more stories now! 🌐Join teleSUR's community and be part of a space where your ideas matter.  https://chat.whatsapp.com/KLABTE41aSj3ioYabXQQ6K 🗣 Don't be left behind, join teleSUR's Channel https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029Va98Z437Noa2tjytCt1N Web💬 https://www.telesurenglish.net/ X🧶 https://twitter.com/telesurenglish Instagram 📸 https://www.instagram.com/telesurenglish/?hl=es Facebook 📱 https://www.facebook.com/teleSUREnglishOfficial Youtube ⏯ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmuTmpLY35O3csvhyA6vrkg Tiktok👌🏼 https://www.tiktok.com/@telesurenglish?_t=8hMLCY0a6z7&_r=1
