Ex-ICE director: Trump's new family detention centers like 'really nice summer camp'
Raw StoryRon Vitiello, former acting director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, claimed President-elect Donald Trump's proposed internment centers for immigrant families would be like a "really nice summer camp." The Washington Post noted Thursday that Trump border czar Tom Homan intended to once again hold undocumented immigrant families with children in "soft-sided" tent structures. "Think about a really nice summer camp that your kids go to," Vitiello continued. During the first Trump administration, ICE's Civil Rights and Civil Liberties Office found that the agency "systematically provided inadequate medical and mental health care and oversight to immigration detainees in facilities throughout the U.S." Before Trump left office in 2020, the ACLU said ICE "eliminated standards that help to preserve detainees' basic dignity."
