Harvard University researchers and Physicians for Human Rights report that ICE is placing record numbers of people into solitary confinement, sometimes for weeks at a time. Prisoners in solitary confinement have suffered for 15 days or longer, which the UN condemns as psychological torture. The US Constitution prohibits certain types of punishment: excessive bail, excessive fines, and cruel and unusual punishments. "We are torturing people simply because they want a better life in the US," laments Sam Zarifi, executive director of Physicians for Human Rights. Pope Leo's recent rebuke regarding the 'inhuman treatment of immigrants' in the US offended conservatives and MAGA supporters, as the Pontiff correctly exposed the hypocrisy of so-called pro-life' Christian Republicans who applaud capital punishment, the inhuman treatment of their fellow man, and Israeli's barbaric ethnic cleansing of Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.
