    Hotel Yorba’s Next Chapter Is Still Unwritten — And Detroiters Want a Say

    A long-vacant Detroit YMCA Has New Ownership With a Plan to Restore It

    A diverse group of approximately twelve people celebrate inside a Detroit public transit bus (numbered 2527). Two women are prominently featured in the foreground—one wearing a black and white plaid blazer on the left, the other in a black blazer with glasses on the right—both smiling and gesturing. Additional passengers stand and sit throughout the bus behind them, several wearing blue clothing. Yellow handrails and support poles frame the scene, with red banners visible that read "Believe Your Story." Windows show the street outside, and the interior has blue-gray seating.

El ICE ya conmociona a Estados Unidos: ¡los guantes no pueden ocultar sus huellas!

Original Story in English by Michigan Chonicle

El anuncio del Departamento de Seguridad Nacional (DHS) de que gastará 20 millones de dólares para dotar al ICE (Servicio de Inmigración y Control de Aduanas) de guantes de descarga eléctrica es, ciertamente, indignante. Dotar al ICE de guantes de descarga eléctrica equivale a darle a un lobo cuchillo y tenedor para que entre en el gallinero.

Lo único que falta es una servilleta blanca para limpiarse la boca tras terminar su banquete. El lobo ha demostrado que muerde, desgarra, destroza y mata a sus presas con una eficiencia feroz. El ICE no ha rendido cuentas por ninguna de sus acciones letales. Ya están bien equipados y armados hasta los dientes.

Estos agentes del terror —que usan máscaras, visten de civil y conducen vehículos sin distintivos— están actualmente armados con lo siguiente:

ADVERTISEMENT
  • Pistolas semiautomáticas de 9 milímetros (modelos especializados Sauer P320 y Glock 19); armas largas, rifles y escopetas; carabinas/rifles de asalto M4 y escopetas Remington 870 (para operaciones de alto riesgo).
  • Armas de fuego tácticas especializadas, incluidas ametralladoras como la SIG MPX.
  • Dispositivos de energía conducida (pistolas Taser).
  • Municiones químicas, gas pimienta (spray OC) y granadas de gas lacrimógeno.
  • Chalecos antibalas diseñados para detener proyectiles de pistola y de calibre de rifle.
  • Máscaras antigás y equipo antidisturbios.

Si el ICE no puede operar con este arsenal propio de una autocracia, debería darle vergüenza. El dinero de nuestros impuestos se está destinando a equipar a una milicia especial enmascarada que no rinde cuentas ante nadie más que ante Stephen Miller y el presidente Donald Trump. Han demostrado que no son dignos de confianza. Mentirán y engañarán, tal como se ha revelado en diversos incidentes mortales.

Con demasiada frecuencia escuchamos la frase: “Se resistieron al arresto e intentaron atropellarme con su vehículo”.

Tanto los testimonios presenciales como las grabaciones de ciudadanos han desmentido sus mentiras. No han implementado el uso de cámaras corporales para sus agentes. El pasado mes de julio, destinaron 30,9 millones de dólares a la adquisición de equipos de la empresa Axiom. Solo cedieron tras una firme protesta pública provocada por las muertes de Ruben Ray Martinez en Texas, Renee Nicole Good y Alex Pretti en Minnesota, Lorenzo Salgado Araujo en Houston y Johan Sebastian Duran Guerrero en Maine.

Desde la fusión de ICE con la Oficina de Aduanas y Protección Fronteriza (CBP), se han registrado al menos 41 tiroteos protagonizados por agentes de inmigración desde enero de 2025, los cuales se saldaron con 11 víctimas mortales. Cada año mueren entre 10 y 20 personas bajo custodia de ICE. El American Immigration Council ha señalado que más de 50 personas fallecieron bajo custodia de ICE en un periodo reciente de varios meses, incluyendo casos de emergencias médicas en instalaciones como Delaney Hall, en Nueva Jersey.

La organización Futuro Media, galardonada con el premio Pulitzer, ha informado sobre cientos de casos de abuso sexual contra inmigrantes en centros de detención controlados por ICE. Reportan más de 308 denuncias de agresión y abuso sexual presentadas a nivel nacional entre 2015 y 2021.

ICE no necesita un trato más suave; lo que requiere es un nuevo estándar de rendición de cuentas por sus acciones ilegales e inconstitucionales. Incluso las Escrituras ofrecen un análisis claro del dilema actual de Estados Unidos: “Todo buen árbol da buenos frutos, pero el árbol malo da frutos malos” (Mateo 7:17). El árbol de ICE está corrompido. Lo único que puede brotar de él es maldad y más frutos nocivos. Es necesario contar con un Departamento de Seguridad Nacional (DHS) justo, supervisado y aprobado por el Congreso. Sus políticas deben respetar el debido proceso y el Estado de derecho, basándose en los siguientes principios:

  • Verdad y transparencia.
  • Capacitación mejorada para todos los agentes.
  • Inhabilitación de personas con antecedentes de violencia doméstica, infractores violentos de la ley y exoficiales de policía despedidos o reasignados por conductas abusivas.
  • Inclusión de formación en sensibilidad y competencia cultural.
  • Incorporación de investigaciones independientes en el proceso ante incidentes que impliquen el uso de fuerza letal o no letal. Las balas de goma, las descargas eléctricas, el uso excesivo de medios de sujeción y el gas pimienta pueden causar lesiones e, incluso, la muerte. Estados Unidos necesita un sistema de injusticia inspirado en regímenes no democráticos y autoritarios. Para la comunidad afroamericana, los guantes eléctricos evocan las cuerdas y cadenas utilizadas para controlar a la población negra en el país. Actualmente, esas cadenas se manifiestan en forma de grilletes electrónicos para contener y controlar a los haitianos.

Esta política propuesta es coherente con lo que parece ser un proceso de esterilización y purificación de Estados Unidos. La administración Trump ha señalado que ciertos inmigrantes están «envenenando la sangre» de la nación; sin embargo, más de 6.500 sudafricanos blancos, provenientes de un país marcado por el *apartheid*, han sido admitidos y acogidos en EE. UU. Detener a 2.000 personas al día bajo amenaza de deportación no es más que una forma de explotación humana.

Las personas de buena voluntad deben oponerse a esta política. Las empresas y corporaciones deben hacer saber a la administración que esto no es un buen negocio. La medida ha provocado una caída en el empleo, el temor de los consumidores a comprar en pequeños comercios y una reducción significativa del turismo. El Congreso debería investigar y bloquear esta propuesta. Los tribunales no deben permitir que esto prospere. Las comunidades religiosas deben predicar y enseñar en contra de este mal que corrompe el alma misma de nuestra nación. Si no somos nosotros, ¿entonces quién? Si no es ahora, ¿entonces cuándo? Someter hoy a descargas eléctricas a los refugiados que buscan asilo en Estados Unidos conducirá, mañana, a aplicar esas mismas descargas a ciudadanos estadounidenses que protestan pacíficamente.
