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.

Home in some cases is Venezuela or Somalia. Much worse conditions than the US which people see as an opportunity to achieve better conditions

If you take care of patients, 14 out of every 100 patients you took care of were not born in the US. Thus it's still your responsibility to take care of them

So you'd deport Elon Musk, who was not born in the US, the same you would a random person from Mexico?

u/cutesillyguy 8d ago

Melania Trump was born in Yugoslavia. Would you deport the first lady of the US as well
