They fucking killed this little girl. They denied medical care to her and killed her. Abolish ICE and lock every guard in that concentration camp up in a cell UNDER the fucking prison.

Details of El Salvador’s black box prison from Kilmar Abrego Garcia. This is where our government sends people with no due process. Social media influencers and US politicians get staged tours of CECOT and rave about how great it is.
