Speaker 1: The latest outrage, according to The New York Times, is
Speaker 1: it about three hundred immigrants are being held in solitary
Speaker 1: confinement every day in holding centers run by Immigration and
Speaker 1: Customs enforcement. These are illegal immigrants. We're talking about something
Speaker 1: at times forgot to mention, America has come at a
Speaker 1: sharp international criticism because illegal immigrants are being held on
Speaker 1: civil charges, not criminals, so they shouldn't be in solitary
Speaker 1: at all. To make the outrage complete, there's some sob
Speaker 1: stories and the illegal immigrant from Yemen was put in
Speaker 1: solitary for not following instructions to go to the meal
Speaker 1: area and for refusing meals. Poor guy was a devout
Speaker 1: Muslim fasting for Ramadan. Another illegal, a gay guy from Mexico,
Speaker 1: was held in solitary for his own protection. So you see,
Speaker 1: the bigots and homophobes are running things at ICE. Dr
Speaker 1: Terry Cooper's a shrink who studies solitary confinement at a Berkeley,
Speaker 1: California graduate school, accuses ICE of excessive force by using
Speaker 1: solitary confinement because these are civil detentions, and he calls
Speaker 1: this a civil rights abuse. The New York Times admits
Speaker 1: detained illegals are put in solitary in less than one
Speaker 1: percent of all cases. But America is nevertheless guilty those
Speaker 1: who broke our laws, of course, innocent, just another reason
Speaker 1: liberals are demanding total amnesty for the poor, helpless, innocent
Speaker 1: illegal immigrants
