17. What this administration IS doing meets the UN definition of genocide.

According to Article 2 of the 1948 United Nations Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide defines genocide as "any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such:

1.killing members of the group;
2. causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group; ( as you mentioned)
3.deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life, calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part;
4.imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group;
5.forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.

Border Patrol argued in court the other day that they should not have to provide soap, toothpaste/brushes, and beds to the children, who have been sleeping on cold cement floors with an aluminum wrap for blankets.

See my recent post OFFICE OF INSPECTOR GENERAL DHS report on the concentration camps:

which describes the inhumane crowding of inmates, such that people are standing on the toilet seats in each overcrowded cell just to get a better breath of air.

The cells are so tightly packed people cannot sit or lie down. ( remind you of anything?)

A cell with a maximum capacity of 12 held 76 detainees
a cell with a maximum capacity of 8 held 41 detainees
a cell with a maximum capacity of 35 held 155 detainees

Border Patrol agents told us some of the detainees had been held in standing-room-only conditions for days or weeks.

People are forced to stand for days, wearing the same clothes as when they were captured, in severe crowded conditions. Now there are reports of communicable diseases spreading.
