Evidence Shows Institutional Celebration
- Internal texts celebrated the agent who shot Marimar Martinez and offered reward-like retirement extensions.
- That praise signals institutional endorsement rather than isolated misconduct.
Detainee Describes Tent Camp Conditions
- An Irish detainee described the facility as "like a modern day concentration camp" with tents, little outside time, and filthy conditions.
- He reported fear, deaths in custody, and scarce food causing competition among detainees.
