Since the article mentions deaths due to ICE custody - There's a headline today (I think it was CNN) about a disabled kid who died because his dad was in ICE custody. Came over as an unofficial refugee from Kuwait, had a kid, and was selected for deportation 20y ago. Deportation was stayed due to his kid's condition (dad was his caregiver), so long as he registered with ICE (né INS) every year. He went in for his annual meeting this winter and never came back out. His kid's health cratered and the kid died. Dad wasn't allowed to the funeral. I know the news isn't neutral either - the people who wrote that article want you to think everything that ICE is doing is fucked up. Also, everything ICE is doing is fucked up.

The cruelty inflicted on people just trying to get by is absolutely shameful and horrible. My only hope is that one day everyone who participated or collaborated will come to regret their heinous acts.

It's crazy to me how so many people defending ICE have nothing to say on them going after people who did do everything legally, even detaining people minutes before they take their citizenship oaths to prevent it.

  This is not an outcome I would like to see, but since when does "unofficial refugee" mean legally?

    I wasn't referring to people here that are undocumented, but rather people that did everything legally every step of the way and are still being deported.

That is a sad story. Now, balance it with the thousands of sad stories arising from illegal aliens killing US citizens. That is not to mention around 100,000 US citizens dying from drug overdoses every year, due to porous borders. Thankfully, President Trump’s policies seem to be making a big difference there. These are all simply facts. Aloha!
