We need to be talking more about the forced sterilization of immigrant women in detention centers. I know some folks got upset when the detention centers were called concentration camps. They pointed to the fact that the internment sites existed prior to this administration. Okay, fair, though I'd argue how they are used is important, but we've had that debate. I know they didn't like the comparisons to Nazi Germany when we bring up the family separations. I know they don't like the comparisons to gestapo/secret police when unmarked DHS agents are taking people into unmarked cars and off the streets.
But how far can it be pushed before we acknowledge the growing ugliness; the rapid march to full blown fascism and the alarming comparables?

Its horrible.
This is one of the real impacts of having a guy like Trump in the WH, there is so much misdirection and major issues to deal with on a daily basis that an issue like this is not in the top 10 of biggest issues this country needs to deal with for some lawmakers. We should have a full blown investigation into this and right any wrongs that have been done, but its so hard to envision that happening with the dysfunction happening.
I'm not trying to belittle this, its really terrible stuff. But so is election fraud, russian bounties, COVID deaths, Bannon stealing from MAGAs after lying to MAGAs, etc. etc. etc. I'm not saying equivalent, but they are all bad for a democracy in one way or another, they all need to be dealt with, and there are just not enough people and time in the day to deal with them all.
