ICE already can't meet their detainment numbers without rounding up children, veterans, people born in the U.S., people with no criminal records, people at immigration hearings, plus academics and visitors with valid visas. So who do they plan to detain with >10x the budget? The answer is: you.

COVID-19 protein triggers immune attacks on healthy cells — but a common drug can stop it. A new study finds the SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid protein can move between cells, causing immune attacks on healthy tissue. Enoxaparin, a common anticoagulant, can block this and offer a treatment path.

They’re planning on building a detention center for migrants in the middle of the fetid swamps of Florida. If you think this is something new, the first internment camp they sent me and my family to in 1942 was a barbed wire prison called Rohwer. It was located in the swamps of Arkansas.
