I'd strongly suggest people read the article instead of discussing the title. - Unsafe conditions in detention. - Detained people fighting over food (due to insufficient amount). - A fake signature(!). Violating a judge's orders. - Multiple US Constitution violations (which, yes, does apply to non-citizens/work-visa holders/even illegal immigrants). This is a "hero case," but if this is happening here, imagine what people with less financial means and interest from the media are going through.

I also strongly suggest people read the ACLU's report Resistance, Retaliation, Repression: Two Years in California Immigration Detention. It's from before Trump 2 but no doubt the issues raised in here have only gotten worse https://www.aclunorcal.org/publications/resistance-retaliation-repression-two-years-california-immigration-detention/ https://www.aclunorcal.org/publications/resistance-retaliati... Some of those issues: - forced labor in order to afford to eat. The $1/day "Voluntary Work Program" is necessary to afford enough food and there is retaliation if you refuse (including solitary confinement). CoreCivic sells your labor - dozens of documented deaths from forced labor and medical neglect - extensive use of solitary confinement often for "minor disciplinary infractions or as a form of retaliation for participating in hunger strikes or for submitting complaints"

Add to that : "Culleton said that when he was arrested he was carrying a Massachusetts driving licence and a valid work permit issued as part of an application for a green card that he initiated in April 2025. He has a final interview remaining". Such bullshit

  Yeah, I have definitely noticed that a lot of Americans on HN would rather flag uncomfortable articles about their country.
