ICE agents leave Ace of Spades 'death cards' on detained immigrants' cars


Federal immigration officials say they are investigating why some of their agents working in Eagle County left ace of spades cards on cars of detained immigrants.

The Colorado Sun reported that ICE agents have been leaving Ace of Spades playing cards — famous since at least the Vietnam War as death cards — on cars left behind after drivers and passengers have been detained by ICE in Colorado.

The Sun reported that “family and friends who went to retrieve the vehicles, left abandoned on Highway 6, found the cards, which were printed with contact information for the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention center in Aurora.”

Someone gets injured or killed and you just reboot and you’re all back at square one. They’re victims aren’t real people to them
