While the United states Armed Forces (private mercenaries) are stationed at 737 bases, in 130 nations around the world, defending “all freedom-loving people everywhere in the world,” Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents (acting under-color-of-law) arrest Martin Soto, a political asylum applicant from Peru, for participating in a protest against the inhumane conditions at the Delany Hall ICE jail, in Elizabethtown, new jersey.
Postscript: Five months later Soto remained an inmate of Delany Hall, hwere he was, first hand, was subject to the very conditions he protested against: medical neglect, rotten food, and abusive staff. As a result of these conditions Soto’s weight dropped from 168 to 117 pounds.
