Otherworldly Goods, Chapter 2 — Page 12
How many kids have died in the custody of DHS? Five? Six? That’s only within the last six months. The tales of psychological and sexual abuse coming from detention centers angers me to no end. Despite efforts by US Senators — like Jeff Merkley, one of mine — this human rights outrage continues. When I wrote this page I had naively hoped by the time it appeared on the Web it would be outdated. Alas, it is not.
If I were to draw this page over again, I would add more tents to the bottom panel. The aerial shots of the concentration camps show scores of tents. Other centers are retrofitted old shopping malls and schools. I could have drawn a longer line of children, too. But you get the idea.
