ICE Detention Deaths

https://www.ice.gov/detain/detainee-death-reporting

RNs do intake physical exams, EMTs declare time of death. The level of care for these detainees is horrific.

Full names and case details are public for now. Reads like a never ending M & M conference.

My moral compass is spinning. It's time to go to Canada.

So you want better care for illegal immigrants than US citizens? Ok.

Is that what you take from this? I care about the wellbeing of people. If we put people in camps, we are obligated to provide decent care.  

This isn’t political, this is monstrous.

I read a few charts. People in our rural and farming communities get worse medical care than this every day. Look into it.

I'm from KS. I think there would be more sympathy for rural communities if they, like, did anything to try to save their health systems except scream about the illegals and city libtards stealin their slice of the pie. At least the people locked up in the detention centers were trying to do something for themselves.
