Winnipeg-born man Clayton Herman released after months in U.S. ICE detention

newsJun 17, 202616578

Winnipeg-born Canadian Clayton Herman walked free Monday after nearly 250 days in U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody. A U.S. judge ruled the government violated Herman's rights, prompting his release. Herman's lawyers called the detention facility a "hellhole" and say the case highlights legal and human-rights questions about prolonged ICE detention for foreign nationals.

Daily Beast: Kristi Noem’s flagship Everglades detention camp has been quietly emptied of every detainee over hurricane fears. I’m honestly shocked ICE did this, leaving them to die seems more their brand. #ProudBlue #Pinks #SheShed #VoteOutRepublicans

But where are they now?

It's hard to disagree with your understandable surprise they would behave in any way resembling decent human compassion.

Those hurricane fears were front and center when this camp was being built, but they were essentially ignored.

BS. A hurricane hasn't hit the Everglades since 2017. It closed because it cost $1.4 billion. Due to the financial shenanigans between the Feds, FEMA, FL, & DeSantis, FL taxpayers will be stuck with the remaining cost of $ 1.34 billion. That won't be popular in an election year.

Excuse to get the name off people’s lips. Desantis probably begged.

No one had the brains to put that together before. Tents and hurricanes? God they are so stupid.

How did we get to this point?3

Yes, but what did they do with all the detainees? Where are they now?

The legal risks are likely being more precisely explained to the mouthbreathers in charge (like I'm sure they were to that sawed-off Shitler Greg Bovino) and their cheerleaders like DeSantis and that fat fuck of a Congressman, Randy whatever.

@dailybeast.bsky.social If you believe they closed Alligator Alcatraz because of hurricanes your more stupid than I thought. Operating costs for the facility have escalated, with Florida officials putting its total price tag at $1.1 billion by June. tallahasseereports.com/2026/02/26/d...

I’m so confused about that place. First I heard it was shutting down, and then that folks had been moved, it’s hard to keep up with all the concentration camps.

I wouldn’t be too shocked until they’re all accounted for. And still alive.
