Now we could quibble about the degree of torture, but then we would be arguing about how much torture is acceptable for someone who had a visa, a job in the US, and was apprehended at the border instead of just denied entry.
And again I ask, what specific things need to happen before people will start doing something about it?
i’m not sure that’s necessarily torture, inhumane conditions for sure.
The worst one in that case is lights being on 24/7 and no sleeping arrangements. But it’s also not clear how long people are being held either.
Speaking to CBC News earlier Thursday, Jasmine’s mother, Alexis Eagles, said her daughter — who grew up in Yukon and had been living in B.C. until last year — was being detained at the San Luis Regional Detention Center after she recently tried to enter the U.S. from Mexico.
she’s canadian, visiting canada, and entered the US through mexico? Ok, so it looks like she tried to enter at the canadian border, her visa was revoked, she tried to then enter through the mexican border for some reason, after having her visa already revoked. Seems questionable and like a stupid decision to me, and even her mother seems to agree with that.
and was apprehended at the border instead of just denied entry.
i would assume that revoking a visa, is a denial of entry, especially since this literally happened at the canadian border, so maybe you want to read up a little bit on that one again.
And again I ask, what specific things need to happen before people will start doing something about it?
i don’t know, good question, it’s the hard question to answer here. The judicial branch has already done something about it. It’s definitionally illegal, it’s just a matter of it being escalated to the scotus, and hoping they side with the law.
i’m not sure that’s necessarily torture, inhumane conditions for sure.
As I said, your quibbling over the definition of torture, ignoring the actual issue here: is this “inhumane treatment” appropriate for someone who hasn’t been charged with a crime?
But it’s also not clear how long people are being held either
She was held for 11 days, it’s in the first paragraph.
i would assume that revoking a visa, is a denial of entry,
"She attempted to return to the States with the new visa
I would assume being granted a new visa is a statement that "it’s okay to come back now’.
The judicial branch has already done something about it. It’s definitionally illegal
And no one is listening to them.
the scotus, and hoping they side with the law.
The same SCOTUS that already ruled that Trump can not be charged with a crime? If they side with these illegal actions will that be reason to act? Or will the response be “The Court says this is legal so I guess it’s fine.”
They are boiling the frog slowly. If you were asked a year ago if everything that’s happening now would be cause to do something and start protesting most people would have said “of course!” But somehow by the time the US got here people are still saying “we’ll protest when things actually start happening”.
People who have committed no crimes are being detained with no charges in inhumane conditions for weeks, and everyone in a position of power is fine with this. So I continue to ask you name something that if it were to happen it would definately be time for Americans to do something. It doesn’t have to be the exact line in the sand, it can be something that “we should be protesting before this happens, but if it has gotten to this point we definately should be opposing it.”
Holding people in inhumane conditions isn’t enough.
Denying reporters access to the country because they have been critical of Trump in the past isn’t enough.
Deporting American citizens to foreign prisons isn’t enough.
The fact that a judge said they can’t deport American citizens to foreign prisons and they still did it anyway isn’t enough.

So what is enough?
