## Resource

Inside immigration detention facilities, one asylum seeker recounts a two-year nightmare of windowless cells, solitary confinement, and total disorientation — all while seeking refuge, not punishment. Meanwhile, local governments are quietly handing over surveillance footage to federal agencies, sparking legal and ethical alarms. As privacy erodes and oversight falters, the chilling parallels to dystopian control force us to confront a dangerous tipping point: how far will we let safety override liberty — and who will hold these systems accountable?
