@JDVance It’s the direct consequence of undertrained , undereducated, and overpaid ICE agents. Real law enforcement officers are highly trained and don’t often shoot out of rage, fear, or a sense of entitlement to kill someone whose actions or beliefs they may not like.
@joelle_emerson Amazing stats. So surprising. But take it from a mother ( yours in fact) in all the best possible ways, it’s different, but never really over!!
Is this what you wanted, @StephenM?
A mother who was 5 months pregnant - who'd just found out she and her American citizen fiancee were having a boy - lost her baby after federal agents in a detention center repeatedly denied her pleas for prenatal care.
Lived and worked in Tennessee for years. Detained by ICE for over a month. Forced to sleep on a prison cell floor. Served food with cockroaches. Said she was starving and having stomach pains. Guards told her it was normal. Begged to be deported so at least she could get prenatal care in Guatemala. ICE refused.
She delivered her stillborn baby in front of two guards who shackled her feet. Then, for two days, she wasn't allowed to call her fiancee or talk to anyone. She cried alone, and was deported to Guatemala shortly after the stillbirth.
DHS has only said they'd review the case. "Worst of the worst", right @TriciaOhio?
@joelle_emerson I’m also super disturbed by the Robinhood-like clarion call this very sick person has engendered in our country. It scares me actually.
