Former FL Republican party chairman Al Cardenas: More kids died in ICE custody than from vaping
As the Trump administration prepares a ban on flavored e-cigarettes following at least six deaths from lung diseases linked to vaping, critics are hitting back by pointing out that more people have died in the custody of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) under Trump's watch.
"More children have died in ICE custody [than] from vaping.. just saying," tweeted former Florida Republican Party chairman Al Cardenas.
Cardenas, a lawyer and senior partner at Squire Patton Boggs, later retweeted a story stating that a Mexican man in ICE custody in Illinois since last week died on Tuesday, marking the eighth death in the federal agency's custody this year.
