Senator Andy Kim was filmed having his eyes washed out with a bottle of water in a video shared by a reporter on X [replaced X link with nitter.net]. The senator has subsequently said that his eyes and throat were “burning” and that his hand hurts following the incident.

The incident unfolded outside of Delaney Hall in Newark, New Jersey, an immigrant detention facility where inmates launched a hunger strike to protest conditions at the facility.

Thank you, Senator Andy Kim. I have been too scared to protest at the Tacoma ICE concentration camp.

They should be all shuttered

Thank you, again, Senator.

There have been plenty of prior reports about substandard conditions including lack of medical care at the detention facilities.

Including sexual assaults and rape. These are rape camps and taxpayers are paying the billionaires that run them.
