When I read that someone died in ICE custody I thought Oh no! But now I'm wondering in this guy's case, if it's reaping what one has sown.

Still furious that the masked jack-booted thugs are doing this to ANYONE in America.

I'm not happy anyone dies in ICE custody, especially one who I thought was Canadian, but ... not being happy and not being sad are two very different emotions.

About Johnny - I don’t celebrate his death. He evidently was not an upstanding person and supporting those he did, disillusioned. His death is troublesome as is that of the fetus of another detainee: even prisoners in the US are to be treated decently tho now “law enforcement” is so cruel [story today that those in blue are committing more murders than other people are killing] they are doing as they believe their “leader” wants. If it brings more attention to someone who can act against the procedures, then good. (I have little hope anyone will til lawsuits increase.)

Not celebrating either.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. The GOP is a death cult. They do not care who dies. At all.

It's more than that...

They WANT us dead. I've been saying this since DonOld wouldn't release the COVID numbers.

Now they won't release:

COVID

Bird Flu

Measles

Or anything else.

They. Want. Us. Dead.

T💩p's NY arrest records show that he is actually 5'10" and 287# which puts him waaaaay beyond obese on the BMI chart.

Nancy's avatar

Well, BMI is nonsensical bullcrap anyway, but it's always nice to know how much he was lying by. :D

Mary Hall's avatar

LOL -- T💩p always said he was 6'3" and 239# which puts him one pound under the obese category. He lies like a rug.

I have been using the expression “lies like Trump”. 😁

I'm in Mountain Time. My morning tends to begin a little later than my East Coast family, so my "morning news" is hitting me after most of the country has had time to absorb.

The fact that A.N.Y.O.N.E. is dying while in ICE custody is reprehensible, that the citizen is from an allied nation is whole different ballgame.

OK, he's not a "good guy". Fine. At his hearing, remove his US status, and return him to Canada.

Keeping him in the US GULAG until he dies is vile.

WE are the Axis of Evil now.

Oh, and @God, this is my 1st stop on my morning news rollercoaster. Your humor matches mine, and it makes the chaos a bit more tolerable. Tolerable. Thank you for ALL you do. 💜💜

Many people have died due to following a cult leader. See Jonestown et.al. Stupidity can be lethal. Still, I condemn these kidnappings and the inhumane conditions they are kept in.

It's really a shame how short our memories are. 🤦🏿‍♀️

Great comparison.

Thank you, God, for sharing the truth!

I hate to say, "I told you so, but..."

Fascists don't care what color you are, thoigh they prefer white; or your religion, though they prefer fundamentalist; or if you are or are not a supporter, they will destroy everyone they touch. Sooner or later, they will destroy one another! Let's hope that comes to pass sooner rather than later!

Godspeed to all...

Truth is a very effective form of smiting. Please keep it up.

Hang in there, God! You will be vindicated!

We sure need an investigation into this homicide. That's exactly what it was. The staff at the facility must be prosecuted fully. That man should never have been there as none of the illegally snatched detainees should have. Same with the stillborn infant and her mother who did not receive care. This administration is made up of soulless monsters.

...and when the leopards came to eat my face, there was no one left to speak up for me.

We are not quite to that point yet but it is on the horizon.

Kaiannanthi's avatar

Aren't we, though? We've been there for 8 months.

I don’t celebrate Noviello’s death either. I do pause and wonder how a man who benefited from pre-Trump US/CAN otherwise good relationship, can be turned into ungrateful hypocrite. All of our choices have consequences. Thank for all you do! They don’t even care about the babies the Christian Nationalists want to force women to breed. RFK Jr is on track to remove MMR vaccines for children under 4!

Kaiannanthi's avatar

They're only concerned with the life they expect after death, and not the here and now. And RFK is a eugenicist. As well as a conspiracy theorist whackjob.

While I am both horrified and not surprised that folk are dying while in the tender care of the American Gestapo, we also have the Supreme Court basically giving The Orange Asshat what he wants - the right to determine who is and who is not a citizen. He is halfway to ending birthright citizenship. I am at a loss as to what we can do to stop him and the Hate Beast he rides.

Sidney Smart's avatar

No one should die like this. Don't think that you are so innocent that it won't hit you as well. This is going to destroy us and the America we know. I'm 77 and I know this is true.

Actually living relatively close to the border, I have NEVER been afraid the border except for when trump is in office. I work w kids. This deport first ask later is adding a new layer of severe trauma on kids. Families are in fear which is not something humans wired for.

And what no one is talking about is the reason we have human & drug trafficking is BECAUSE THERE IS A DEMAND IN THE STATES. Until no demand to traffic little girls or drugs, the illegal demand will continue. Citizen children are also traumatized bc they are worried about being sent away. Then cuts to Medicaid means they can’t get much needed therapy.

A person dying in ICE custody is a tragedy, regardless of one's allegiance to Chump. "ICE didn’t care that he loved Trump." While ICE is cruel to anybody who gets in their crosshair, they are not as far as we can tell, offering leniency to those who prove or profess their love for Dear Leader as evidenced by this Noviello case. Could you imagine if ICE let Noviello go simply because he favors Chump? Everybody -- immigrant, trump lover, democrat, or otherwise -- should be afforded impartial treatment in the eyes of the law.
