Federal mandates? Sounds like Washington dictating how states should lock up illegals.

Detention centers shouldn’t be luxury resorts, but basic standards aren't too much to ask.

Finally, a bill that says 'humane treatment' isn't optional—welcome to 2025!

Standards are fine, but only if they don’t turn detention centers into soft prisons.

Equal standards mean equal dignity—let’s treat people like humans, not stats.
