The inhuman conditions of immigrant detention camps, where women and children were forced to sleep on the floor, have limited access to sanitary facilities has been masked by the very real need to determine the legality of their status in this country.
However, their status should have no bearing on whether they should be detained in inhuman conditions or not. Further, the possession of military style weapons like the AR-15, in the hands of civilians with no role in local, state, or national security, shows the further dehumanization of humans, by placing their health and safety below that of the wants and desires of gun collections with no genuine need for these weapons.
