Catering Services on Good Behavior
Yes, U.S. Congressman Jamie Raskin (MD-08) just conducted an unannounced oversight visit to an ICE field facility in Baltimore, Maryland.1 Yes, Representative Raskin says 60 men were packed into one room shoulder to shoulder. Yes, they were in there 24 hours a day every day. Yes, there were no — not bananas — shower facilities. No shower facilities. (No bananas, either.) Yes, they had just one toilet, but it was very conveniently placed in the very room where all those naughty men were stuffed.
And guess what? There’s room for one more! Yes sirree, getting fired or impeached — she could also resign — will give DHS secretary Kristi Noem the best chance ever to visit her jail all incognito and realistic like to see what a reign of terror feels like from the inside.
But her experience won’t be that bad. Not at all. Because as soon Miss Kristi gets in there, Congresspeople — who love her in all her outfits — will grab some of her $75 billion budget no matter how loud Congressional Democrats squeal, explain to President Trump why it’s sort of important, send out bids, get the very best Trump-affiliate contractor, and construct a second prison toilet just for her in no time and — no convenience spared — in that very self-same room. With her snuggled in there with her very own toilet, we’ll just see if upstart Raskin raises any fuss after that. One regrettable matter, however, cannot be addressed: Miss Kristi will have to negotiate shower privileges with ICE guards without her inmate buddies getting wise.
