Order comes after seven people in California City facility allege they were denied medications, food and sanitation

The US government must provide detainees at a California immigration detention center with adequate medical care, access to attorneys, and “temperature-appropriate clothing and blankets”, a federal judge has ruled.

The order came on Tuesday in response to a lawsuit filed by seven people detained at the California City detention facility in November, alleging they had been denied essential medications, sufficient food and sanitary housing conditions.

Residents at the facility had previously described the center as a “torture chamber” and “hell on earth” in interviews with the Guardian.

    When “bullet time” was blowing up after the Matrix was released I was expecting to see some references to the music video I saw on MTV that preceded it; but I don’t think I ever did. In 2014 (based on file timestamps) I randomly remembered the video and finally tracked it down: Meat Beat Manifesto - Helter Skelter.

      Ah, that’s a way cooler reference in the bullet time sequence; I never saw that video before, or at least not before The Matrix. When The Matrix came out, I think my only point of reference was The Gap commercials, LOL.
