If you've ever been to a Social Security office, an office for public assistance, the DMV, or any big city criminal or family court, you know these places are not designed for comfort or convenience. For the most part, these are drab, boring, uninspiring spaces with dull, disinterested staffs who detest their jobs almost as much as the people they serve. Employees in these types of government spaces are generally overworked, underpaid and feel unappreciated. This is why public officials, news reporters, rights groups and concerned citizens aren't being allowed to inspect and report on the U.S'. immigration detention centers. If you think the DMV sucks, the Trump administration can never allow the world to see what's really going on behind the closed doors of these facilities. Therefore, we have no choice but to use our imaginations
