    Even ignoring the head scarves which aren’t similar to knives…

    Water?

      Not water. Water bottles. People in places like that make knives out of paper. A guy taught me how to start a fire using a pencil and toilet paper. You’d be surprised what some people can do with some simple materials in a place like that. I’d be willing to bet there’s some security that’s the direct result of something someone did.

      The knives Sikh people usually carry cannot be drawn, FYI. They’re harmless.

        Nonviolent people waiting for immigration to process them do not make knives out of paper. If they did, they would not receive asylum.

        There’s no reason to conflate this with jail, except that we for some reason jail them.

        This is ICE.

        Detention centers for Asylum Seekers.

        Not exactly hardened gang members trying to shank people with plastic bottles. These people are trying to not get deported.

          Look man, you lock a bunch of random people that don’t all know each other up together, some of them are going to be up to shit. It’s a dangerous situation, that I agree they shouldn’t be in, but they are in and you want to make sure nobody hurts anyone in there.
