The lawsuit—filed Wednesday in federal court by the ACLU, Center for Constitutional Rights (CCR), International Refugee Assistance Project (IRAP), and ACLU of the District of Columbia—was brought on behalf of several plaintiffs, including the sister of a Venezuelan man being held at the facility. It demands that all those being detained have immediate access to legal assistance.

According to the groups, the administration "has provided virtually no information about immigrants newly detained at Guantánamo, including how long they will be held there, under what authority and conditions, subject to what legal processes, or whether they will have any means of communicating with their families and attorneys."

We're actually watching as Nazis build concentration camps.

Absolutely

For fucks' sake, drive off the Nazis then! I didn't honestly apologize for rash words about Jews over the Gaza war crimes to be okay with this!

Are you flying to Cuba to drive them off?

Dude, this isn't good for you to post online. I'm going to remove it for your sake.

Protests for sure though.

I won't defy your judgement as a mod, only say I'm not afraid of them because if I was they'd have power over me just from that fear. I refuse to let someone like them have power over me.

For anyone confused about what was deleted by what was posted just prior which is still up, I was not saying anything pro-facist or anti-semitic. Rather, the opposite: I don't want to see America become like Nazi Germany and I'm disgusted it's happening before my very eyes without the ability for me to save anyone from it.

I didn't mean to make you look bad, I just don't want you to get hurt by your statements. Also, this instance probably wouldn't approve. It was borderline.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago

Fair, and don't worry, I was just making sure nobody would misinterpret it. Thank you for not doing more than remove the post.
