Something just occurred to me

With all of these ICE detentions, what happens to those people who are taking medications that are keeping them alive? Observing their behavior, I fear that the issue doesn't occur to them.

I have been taking Warfarin for more than 30 years for a blood disorder. If it were denied to me I would be at risk for a heart attack, stroke or pulmonary embolism.
Who is liable for the death of a detainee who dies as a result of their imprisonment?

And those we know of are only the ones who have died in US ICE detention. Once they are outside our borders, they are lost to view. Whatever happened to the child with cancer?

and criminally charged with murder. (2nd degree?)

Why isn't the media screaming about this?

Decade, or sooner.

They are culling the herd so they will survive.

I think the politicians that are participating in this, have been promised they and those they love, will be part of the surviving 10%. That would be a heck of a motivation.
