Discussion: Advocates Say Immigrant Child Died After Leaving ICE Custody

Forgive me but I don’t trust anyone in ICE to find their ass with both hands.

Oh, they can find their ass alright. But only to cover it.

Goddamnit. We knew this was coming and yet it still lands like a punch in the guts.

Note that we are not debating if a child died, just the precise location.

Republicans, you say this is good, right?

I often wonder how many of those 1-3 year old kids are never going to see their parents again.

Last Summer:

AP via TPM, June 19, 2017:

Otto Warmbier, an American college student who was released by North Korea in a coma last week, died Monday afternoon.

So, being held by ICE is just as bad for you, if not worse, as being held captive in North Korea.

Why am I not surprised?

Hey, you come here where you’re not wanted, you’d better get used to the idea that we’re going to let some random people drug, molest, and mistreat your children! You wanted this! It’s in the Constitution! No it’s not cruel and unusual, because the world’s biggest fan of the KKK says it’s official policy.

Maybe next time you won’t be so quick to pack up your family and flee political or ethnic persecution to come to the “home of the free” now that your kid accidentally died because of your own bad decisions.

a child died shortly after being released from a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in Texas

Not to be unduly cynical, but I’m curious to know what prompted their release.

And since it works so well, let’s make it bigger!

The party that claims exclusive rights to being Pro Life has a really odd way of promoting it.

Apparently quite a few. Sadly seeing reports of children that HAVE been reunited either not recognizing their parents or no longer trusting their parents and are withdrawn. :cry:

Notice how there was no pointing fingers saying that “oh he died when in the US so it’s not N Korea’s fault.” a la “… this child died after just leaving ICE custody, so it’s not ICE’s fault”.
