The Taken

We expose the anatomy of the governmental machinery that the Department of Homeland Security uses to (1) conduct immigration arrests on the streets of Minneapolis and St. Paul, (2) transport individuals in unmarked vehicles with masked agents to the Whipple Federal Building at Fort Snelling, (3) detain individuals in grossly inhumane conditions at Whipple, (4) transport individuals in handcuffs and shackles to Texas, and (5) detain adults and children in grossly inhumane conditions in Texas facilities (including worms in food; physical and sexual abuse; sewage water flooding into eating areas).

We document these patterns across the different stages through the use of sworn declarations and court filings.

Who is caught in the pipeline? U.S. citizens have been caught up in all five stages, as have individuals who are legal residents and others with pending legal status. Indeed, of the three exits out of the pipeline, many have been released pursuant to a court order finding the government unlawfully detained them.

This is a tough fucking read
