I make no apologies that I don't come to this work from a place of neutrality. I do think the dentention centers are inhumane, and as a journalist I'm OK saying that because I can prove that with facts - we have people dying in detention, we have really dire circumstances, we have really inhumane policies in place - and we just keep giving the agency responsible for this more and more money.

Journalist Tina Vasquez explores the brutal architecture of ICE in the Trump era - from the bi-partisan creation of a surveillance, detention and deportation mechanism under Obama and previous administrations, to the nativist adaptation of both capital and ideology to the violent machine handed over to the Trump White House.

Tina wrote the article The New ICE Age: An Agency Unleashed for Rewire.News and the New York Review of Books.
