Lawyers: ICE detainee with brain tumor removed from hospital
By Rafael Bernal - 02/22/17 10:10 PM EST


An undocumented immigrant diagnosed with a brain tumor while under Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) custody was returned to a detention center from a Texas hospital, her lawyers said.

The woman, a Salvadoran national identified only as Sara, was released from Huguley Hospital in Fort Worth, Texas, and taken to Prairieland Detention Center against her will, according to her lawyers.

"She told us they tied her hands and ankles in her condition," Melissa Zuniga, a member of Sara's legal team, told The Hill. "She's complaining of a lot of pain."

Zuniga said Sara, 26, was cut off from communication with her family and lawyers, even after the hospital and ICE had cleared Sara's mother for unrestricted phone access.

1. They must screen ICE officer applicants by

Making certain they have no empathy.

It's one thing to deny treatment for a minor ailment whild in custody. This woman was awaiting treatment in a hospital, in great pain, and they don't give a shit.

2. From now on

When ever I see an ICE agent...I will see then in the uniform of the Gestapo or NKVD! And will consider them as nothing more then inhumane thugs...who are just "following orders"!

5. Absolutely

Two days ago I learned that ICE agent can gain entry to a home by falsely identifying themselves as police conducting an investigation. The idea is that the occupant consenting to their entry, and I guess informed consent isn't part of the deal.

I wonder if that legalistic bullshit works for actual human beings in addition to ICE enforcers? Can a burglar say that he's a cop and then afterward insist that he entered the site legally?


ACHTUNG!

3. Making America Great Again

Well, I certainly feel safer with this dangerous terminally ill patient.

4. This despicable, racist BS

these ICE 'agents' are the new SS and brownshirts in one boy-potus agency. Bannon's wet dream team of hitlerian proportion...in a little more than a month class to chaos and SS/Gestapo tactics against relatively innocent hard working people. Yeah welcome to bannon and millers ameriKKKa. Looks like it's already "show me your papers" time for ANY profiled as hispanic in origin...
