How Ukraine’s Mobilization Tactics Became a Blueprint for ICE’s Brutal Detention Practices
What ICE is doing in the United States today has already been tested and fully implemented in Ukraine — in its most extreme, brutalized form — by the Territorial Centers of Recruitment and Social Support (TCR and SS), official government bodies under the Ministry of Defense responsible for executing the nationwide mobilization process.
These centers are tasked with identifying, detaining, and forcibly conscripting civilians into the military — often through violent means and without legal safeguards.
For the past four years, these institutions have operated as militarized enforcement units, executing forced detentions, abductions, imprisonment without trial, and violent delivery of civilians — often in handcuffs — directly to the front lines.
Numerous reports and video evidence confirm killings during detention, torture, suicides in custody, and wounded civilians being returned to combat without medical evaluation.
This is not a breakdown of the system — it is the system. A state-run apparatus functioning with the direct financial support of international donors.
Thousands of video recordings prove these crimes. But such materials are aggressively censored on Global platforms.
What the public sees is filtered. What it does not see is systematic repression funded in the name of democracy.
Crucially, all of this is happening under an official legal regime of derogation. Since 2022, Ukraine has formally suspended key obligations under the European Convention on Human Rights and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights — including rights to liberty, fair trial, movement, privacy, and protection from expulsion.
In this context, donor countries continue to provide unlimited financial aid — with no human rights conditions attached.
This means: democratic governments are financing a regime that has officially declared it will not respect fundamental rights.
People are fleeing not just war, but the collapse of legal protection itself. They escape a state that has legalized abduction, torture, forced conscription, and denial of justice — while the international community actively subsidizes this repression.
Thus, democracy is funding terror. Not metaphorically, but legally and materially — under conditions of formal derogation, with full awareness of the consequences.
This is not a hidden crime. It is an open violation of international law — visible, documented, and supported.
We’ll try to keep updating this section and show you what’s really happening, though it’s extremely difficult to find videos without watermarks — otherwise, they risk being taken down for copyright claims.
Still, we’re opening this section and will continue adding new materials so that people can finally see and understand what has been happening all this time.
