Passed along to me: Refugee Child Dies in Detention Center

Scott Dworkin just posted on Twitter

BREAKING: A refugee child has died “following her stay at an ICE detention center, as a result of possible negligent care, and a respiratory illness she contracted from one of the other children. Events took place in Dilley Family Detention Center in south Texas,” says TX lawyer.

1. DAMN

[MontanaMama]

2. Negligent homicide.

[Farmer-Rick]

3. I'm sure ICE is digging mass graves and dumping fields for dead children right now.

7. Are you serious?

[LanternWaste]

13. Is that question serious?

Six of one, twenty-four divided by four of the other.

[Farmer-Rick]

20. Not totally but the Traitor Trump seems to have given these people

Jailing the children absolute power over those innocent lives. Absolute power corrupts absolutely. They have already shown themselves to be callous monsters doing their Traitor Trump's bidding.

10. Frankly, I wouldn't be surprised either

[mahina]

4. Steven Miller needs to be branded with these policies.

The Steven M:iller refugee family separation policy
The Steven Miller Child Psychotropic Drugging Policy
The Steven M:ller Child Torture by Isolation from Parents Without Enough Food or Care Policy
The Steven M:ller Exposing Children to Sex Abusers Policy

That man designed this situation.

TEARS for this child and his family. Peace and aloha to him and forgiveness one day for us, but not Steven Miller.

5. The title of your thread says the child died in the detention center

But the information in the body of your thread says that the child died following her stay.

Which is right?

[montanacowboy]

12. I am only repeating

what I was sent so I don't know

surely this will be news very shortly

[oberliner]

16. Were you sent something other than the Dworkin tweet?

The Dworkin tweet you quoted doesn't match your title.

Attorneys say migrant child died after release from ICE family detention facility
by Maria Sacchetti August 1 at 2:34 PM Email the author

The American Immigration Lawyers Association said Wednesday that a migrant toddler died soon after being released from an U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention center in Dilley, Texas.

Gregory Z. Chen, director of government relations for the 15,000-member national association, said he did not know the cause of death or if it was linked to care at the facility. He did not say when the death occurred or provide the child’s name.

ICE said Wednesday that it was unable to investigate the alleged death without the child’s name or other information. However the agency made clear that no child died while in their care.

“Reports that a child died in ICE custody at Dilley are false,” the agency tweeted

The Washington Post was unable to independently verify the death.

14. ICE released her because she was sick

and they didn't want to be held responsible if she died. That's my guess.

I wonder who she was released to, since the article said ICE didn't know her name.

Bastards.

[Yonnie3]

15. That is very likely. nt

[mythology]

17. Reread the article

If the name of the kid wasn't given to the reporter who then went to ICE, the reporter basically asked "I heard a kid who was at one point in your custody died. I don't know her name, but what can you tell me?" There isn't enough information to answer the question. With a specific kid in custody being released, they would know the name (in theory the administration is really incompetent). But unnamed kid from a third hand source isn't enough to go on.

21. "Reports that a child died in ICE custody at Dilley are false"

Oh God, if they are out and out denying it, it means it Did happen. They never deny absolutely like that unless it's to cover up.

[AlexSFCA]

8. FBI needs to investigate this homicide

[VOX]

9. Third Reich-type extermination by brutal negligence.

Trump and his cult are just fine with this, because they consider anyone not white (or for that matter, ANYONE who doesn’t bow to Trump) as disposable.

11. They most likely released her to get her off their hands.

They wanted someone (anyone) to be responsible for a seriously ill child.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

18. ICE centers so far: sex abuse, child death, sadistic psych abuse, drugging w psychotropics,

It's all on Дональд Трамп and his RubleCon Party enablers.

Republicon family values.

19. As the Trump team sees it...

One less kid to deal with
