This is unconscionable. Evil.

But it happened in May 2023, when Biden was president.

So no, we don’t “reform immigration detention,” we destroy ICE, CBP, and DHS. We can’t reform this soul sickness.

Anadith Danay Reyes Álvarez died in government custody.

She had sickle cell and congenital heart disease but couldn’t access timely and adequate medical care.

We need to reform immigration detention.

Just saw this, and it makes me wonder how you think you should still be in the United States Senate — let alone a Democrat — if you’re going to follow up the first two paragraphs with the third.

This is a dead child, and your response sounds like Al Gore talking about Reinventing Government.

Any medical help"???

The formality, the weasel-words that somehow help was available, but the little girl just couldn't get to it, which idea leaves the possibility IT WAS HER FAULT.
