<blockquote><p>on March 16, a woman identifying herself as a detainee at the Stewart Detention Center in Lumpkin, Georgia, called 911. Communication was strained: The dispatcher spoke no Spanish, and the caller only a little English. "I need help,” the woman said. "I need … ayuda." The line goes abruptly dead, triggering a follow-up call from the emergency operator. A staff member at the facility answers the phone: “We're at a detention center, and the detainee called 911, I'm sorry.” The woman's voice is still audible in the background, still pleading. Records indicate no ambulance was dispatched.</p></blockquote><p><a href="https://convo.casa/tags/ice" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ice</span></a> <a href="https://convo.casa/tags/Gestapo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Gestapo</span></a> <a href="https://convo.casa/tags/homosacer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>homosacer</span></a> <a href="https://convo.casa/tags/fascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fascism</span></a> <a href="https://convo.casa/tags/nazis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>nazis</span></a> <a href="https://convo.casa/tags/trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>trump</span></a> <a href="https://convo.casa/tags/stephenmiller" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>stephenmiller</span></a> <a href="https://convo.casa/tags/elonmusk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>elonmusk</span></a> <a href="https://convo.casa/tags/markzuckerberg" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>markzuckerberg</span></a> <a href="https://convo.casa/tags/sexualAssault" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>sexualAssault</span></a> <a href="https://convo.casa/tags/jeffbezos" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>jeffbezos</span></a> <a href="https://convo.casa/tags/peterThiel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>peterThiel</span></a> <a href="https://convo.casa/tags/cruelty" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>cruelty</span></a> <a href="https://convo.casa/tags/demonic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>demonic</span></a> <a href="https://convo.casa/tags/USPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USPol</span></a> <a href="https://convo.casa/tags/massdeportation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>massdeportation</span></a> <a href="https://convo.casa/tags/Migrants" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Migrants</span></a> <a href="https://convo.casa/tags/curse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>curse</span></a> <a href="https://convo.casa/tags/antichrist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>antichrist</span></a></p>
