The United States is forcibly injecting abducted children with psychiatric drug cocktails.

FWIW, I don't think that the testimony alleges that this is ICE. The abuse in the court documents seems to be at private, contracted facilities which sound most similar to orphanages or group foster homes/facilities.
At the bare minimum everyone in this administration must be prosecuted and spend their lives in maximum security prison with no chance of parole.
Not only are they legit, they have a show on NPR. I've listened to it a few times in the car.
That is fucking disgusting.
And I feel like this needs to be emphasised in the OP, just for the purpose of discussion.
Seems like US administrations are complicit across the board.

This is apparently something dating back to Obama, maybe even earlier given the history of this nation.
The link is a few post down in the first page
The Center for Investigative Reporting (CIR) is a nonprofit news organization based in Emeryville, California, and has conducted investigative journalism since 1977. It is known for producing stories that reveal scandals or corruption in government agencies and corporations.. Has won numerous high standard journalism awards.
It is important to note that the article is based on a court document, it is not from the journalist investigation. It is the credibility of the person or organisation that filed the lawsuit that matter.
Sadly this has been happening for a long long time regarding children in state/federal care.
I'm guessing they fabricate reasons for injections to retain funding.
This is why I can never be an advocate of forced medication by the state without a judges order or some due process. Just wholesaling this shit is terrible and no oversight is inviting exploitation.

Reading through that Twitter thread... this is literally Logan.
What. The. FUCK.
Please god no...
This goes well beyond inhumane.
I really need this to be true.

Seems like it was isolated but a Congresswoman commented on it back in 2014 so it appears the government in some capacity has been aware for a long time.
These are incidents alleged at one private, government-contracted facility, a sort of group home for unaccompanied minors, but ... looking beyond the court documents, it's probably systematic.
It's also a privately run government contractor, not the United States government proper.
The fact that this has been going on for five years and we're only now finding out about it in detail is fucking disgusting.
Without absolving the Trump administration, these allegations in court testimony are from the Obama administration. In all likelihood if these private facilities did this under Obama's watch, then it's likely much worse under Trumps, but... the allegations mentioned in the court filings are from before Trump took office.
Can a mod change the title please? It's intentionally misleading.
I wonder how much they can just argue these captured people needed psychological care.
Court document says some were used in at least one case that was disclosed and that I found.

Read the court docs. This actually does go back to the Clinton admin, but continued into all the way through Obama and Trump admins.
I'm sure it's also happening in juvenile detention centers and prisons.

Can forceful unregulated medication and sedation be counted as chemical warfare? Also, hogtying and sexual abuse...
This is what they were doing to those kids,
Fuck this government!
The immediate question becomes: why did the government allow Daystar or it's offspring companies (like Shiloh) to continue to obtain government contracts for the care of children after reports of wide-spread abuse came out?
"Daystar's license was not revoked until January 2011"
???
"The Texas Department of Family and Protective Services allowed [Daystar Treatment Center, who now operates Shiloh] -- that was responsible for four deaths, numerous allegations of sexual abuse, and unthinkable treatment of developmentally disabled children -- to operate for 17 years."
What did the federal government know and when did they know it? Or is this something Bugs Bunny needs to cut Texas off the US map over?
Incorrect. It goes back to the Clinton administration.
Some are from before trump admin and some during. It's also a private contractor. So you can't really say any of this is directed by an admin.
Can we get some clarification in the OP for this? People doing drive-by's in this thread like this started last month.
This didn't start under Trump, reports go back to 2014.
This is a privately run government contractor. This is not an ICE facility.
The drugs are psychiatric, not psychedelic. This isn't MKULTRA.
This is monstrous and reprehensible, but it's important to understand the facts.

The lawsuit has a few accounts pre-2017, but the vast majority are from the Trump years -- perhaps explained by changes in Trump's policy that would increase the number of children being sent to facilities like this. And this is all for a contracted facility, not the government directly.
But my point is that "the dems did it" does not make it ok, regardless of how much truth is behind the statement.
Jesus Christ, everything about this detainment system needs to be destroyed and rebuilt from the bottom up. Everyone responsible needs to be prosecuted, regardless of administration or political alignment.
Edit:Seems like the blame should be laid on the contractor and anyone who knew but did not demand oversight

People can't do little things like "actually reading the court filing" before running in to post their hot take.
What psychedelics does it say? I find that hard to believe since all psychedelics are schedule 1 illegal substances.
It appears that the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services is most directly to blame. This company has been doing this shit for 25 years under different brand names in Texas. It's unclear what -- if any -- awareness of this company's activities would have hit the radar of anyone at the Federal level, never mind the Executive or Legislative branches.
They flew under the radar until now thanks to what appears to be complete neglect and dereliction of duty by the TX Department of Family and Protective Services.
Texans: put those pitchforks to good use.
