   @Crispius @AlisonCreekside "The 13th Amendment in their constitution actually permits slavery for incarcerated persons"

   NO IT DOES NOT.

   It specifies:

   "except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted"

   This explicitly excludes the entire class of people they want to apply it to: those who have not been convicted or even accused of any crime, who are nominally being incarcerated pending non-criminal deportation action.

   Of course they will try to apply this unconstitutionally. Mis-stating what the constitution says only helps them do that, though.

   Hey, ever notice how people in power ~HATE~ collective activism: protests, unions, solidarity movements, etc.? And that they'd much rather you act individually and "politely"?

   There's a reason. Collective action *works* and individual politeness DOES NOT.

   It's not complicated.
