Summary
Three people died in ICE custody in April, bringing the total deaths under Trump’s current term to at least seven. Victims include Brayan Garzón-Rayo, Nhon Nguc Nguyen, and Marie Ange Blaise, whose case raised questions about denied medical care.
ICE faces criticism over overcrowding, unsanitary conditions, and lack of oversight as detainee numbers near 50,000.
Advocates cite systemic neglect and worsening conditions amid Trump’s aggressive deportation campaign.
Human rights groups filed lawsuits over DHS office closures, and hunger strikes, protests, and investigations continue nationwide as detainees report abuse and deteriorating mental health care.
This is why Canadians won’t cross the border. The US is no longer a safe country to visit. Innocent people being thrown in to concentration camps and shipped off to El Salvadore to die… Thanks, but no thanks. Ima go to France this holiday instead. Nice and safe over there.
I am a natural citizen of Usonia and I fucking gasp every time I hear through the grapevine that someone from a(n) (formerly) allied nation took the risk to travel here. I understand that most don’t have much choice, but my home is unrecognizable to me now.
Don’t come here, and I am saying this as someone who benefits from Canadian tourism. I have a deep, long-time love and appreciation for the Canadian people and their First Nations — it breaks my heart to even say so, but please, for your own safety, do not come here!
Countries are blacklisting the USA, anyone not cis-het and white are cancelling trips… I have to give it to Trump, he seemed to know that the best way to expunge all the groups he doesn’t want is to make the country dangerous for them. ‘Kill and disappear a bunch of them,’ he thought, ‘and they will choose to leave. Soon they will stop coming. Soon America will be cleansed.’
