"It's outrageous that immigration detention facilities have morphed into college campuses," said Rep. Elton Gallegy (R-Calif.). "Under this administration, detention looks more like recess," Smith proclaimed. Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa) attempted to turn the immigrant rights advocates' figures against them, arguing that, comparatively speaking, the number of detainees who have died while awaiting deportation is actually quite small: "110 deaths is not alarming to me," he explained, suggesting that immigrants were actually safer in an ICE detention center than they were "in the broader society."
In February, DHS unveiled a new set of guidelines designed to crack down on sexual assault and inhumane conditions at immigrant detention centers. On Wednesday, House Republicans held a hearing to accuse the Obama administration of coddling detainees.
What a psychopath and pig Rep. King is. Just vile.

Steve King needs to get the fuck out of my state. I will gladly offer the steel-toed boot to start the process.
