A German man has died while in the custody of the immigration authority ICE in the United States.

The 85-year-old died in Harlingen, Texas, where he had been in a clinic since November, ICE announced on Thursday.

He had been receiving treatment there for dementia, high blood pressure, cognitive impairment and stomach ulcers. A doctor confirmed his death on June 24.

An autopsy has been ordered to determine the cause of death.

    How is there not one person on these teams with the guts to speak up and do something. It’s actually incredible that they are able to properly weed out anyone who has a conscience so reliably.

      Exact same way there wasn’t someone doing something when the Nazis perpetrated the Holocaust.

      Same way all the other genocides happen. People usually don’t like conflict and prefer to stay alive. Interfering with this stuff often ends with you losing your life and is a lot harder than shutting up and keeping your head down so long as you’re not getting clubbed too.

      Plus, these ICE goons are volunteering to be bastards - nobody is forcing them. That right there self selects for applicants who want to be a horrible human being. These are men and the occasional women who lack a conscience. They are straight up just morally reprehensible bad people whose disappearance would improve this planet.

      Steve Bannon went around screening all the different racist militias to make sure they knew to apply for these jobs. They had years to make sure those groups were true believers before telling them to apply for the jobs.

      I’m assuming. Idk what that guy was talking about when he talked to all the neonazi militias after trump won the first time.
