Not Accidental
Deaths in immigration detention now match the patterns recorded in the early phases of past regimes' concentration camps: poor conditions, untreated disease, abuse — not random misfortune but the predictable output of a custodial system designed for harm.
Deaths in US immigration detention now match the patterns recorded in the early phases of past regimes’ concentration-camp systems: deaths from poor conditions, untreated disease, untreated injury, and abuse. The pattern is not random misfortune. It is the predictable output of a custodial system whose design parameters — overcrowding, medical neglect, indefinite holds, restricted oversight — produce deaths as a statistically expected result.
The historical analogy is not rhetorical. It is a description of what happens when the same operational choices are made.
