Fortunately, you are incorrect on this point. They DO have constitutional rights despite what some right-wing media rabble-rousers claim. From Section 1 of the 14th Amendment:

I took the time not for the troll but for anyone who might have been misled by him/her. Also, the additional details clarify how criminally — murderously! — negligent and callous the guards and managers of that holding facility were and presumably still are. And if it could happen in one holding site under the Trump…
That’s horrifying — both your own near-fatal meningitis as a kid and the potential you point out that the criminally negligent way the guards ignored the meningitis of the detainee could have allowed wider contagion. I didn’t consider how easily a hellhole situation like that could have triggered a spread of disease…
Thanks for the update! That does sound much better.
I don’t know the medical situations in all the various ICE detention facilities — that’s something that needs to be investigated — but for the holding facility where this man’s obvious health crisis was untreated and needlessly progressed to death, the statement is true. From the linked report above:
Yes. In addition to their emotional trauma, children are held in awful conditions, including cages:
In fact, this policy is not only evil, as anyone should be able to see, it is also illegal according to both the US Constitution and international law. I posted on this later in this thread:
This is not only evil, it is illegal according to the US Constitution and international law and the ACLU is suing:
Good that this hero is unidentified. He would get death threats and might be in physical danger if the Trumpites knew where to find him. Besides, this way he can better represent the rest of us who could not be there.
Plus, it’s just coincidence that this criminal Russian agent was the one responsible for forcing Pence — a sanctimonious extremist reviled even in his home state —as the VP candidate. When Trump leaves before his term is up, the man chosen by Putin and his goons to be the most disruptive Trump successor for the US…
Defend Manafort? They’re more likely to circle their wagons, put on piously aggrieved expressions, and claim he worked entirely alone and had absolutely nothing to do with their Dear Leader or his triumphant and entirely legitimate election and policies.
You are probably right, but I still think it’s possible that he was angry and manic enough to sneak in and ambush her. Surely he’s not pleased with how she treats him in public; the loathing and contempt are so obvious. He tries to project himself as an attractive chick magnet, and she punctures that balloon…
I think it’s a toss up. They’re both monsters, apparently even worse in private. When I read about Nixon beating Pat, I immediately flashed to how thin and frail she was looking at what would have been the time of the severe beating that sent her to an emergency room. She must have been beaten down emotionally from…
Yes, you are right. We should have considered that possibility too. She is certainly not a happy woman, and with good reason. I think she planned this marriage as a long-term investment — she is guarding her “multimillion dollar” brand for later on — but she’s only human.
I too think it is unlikely — she is in better physical condition than he is — but the SS would not be with them in a secured private domestic setting like a bedroom. They would be guarding the door from outside dangers. So though unlikely, I do think it is possible and should not be discounted.
Those are my guesses too, plus one more: recovery from a beating by her husband. We know from wife #1 Ivana that he has gotten violent with women before, and he cannot tolerate the sort of public snubs and humiliations she has been giving him. Maybe he snapped. We know he is capable of any evil so long as it isn’t…
Of course it is! From the same article (emphasis mine):
That poor, poor oyster.
As long as they are outnumbered by moral SCOTUS opinions, they can spew their hate and fascism into a vacuum. But even two more and the horror is legitimated.
Yes, and then there are those corrupt city officials approving taxpayer-paid mega stadiums instead of support for schools and vital infrastructure. Lots and lots of money for the billionaires and their hangers-on.
