The Definition of Space (and life)

NIELSEN says that "so far this year" three children have died in CBP custody. She says she hasn't spoken with the affected families. pic.twitter.com/7ktpSEGFWR

Something so safely anodyne about a "detention space," isn't there? So much nicer than "cages."

And 3 deaths of children this year?  1 per month, on average?  And this is not a public outrage because brown people, or something?  Or is it because Sec. Nielsen said "cages"?  Because that seems to be the outrage du jour among the commentariat; that chain link doesn't create a cage, rather than children have died in our custody. Cages are on the government, but deaths in custody are on all of us.

And that should outrage us.
