The wife and attorney of a man detained in Rochester last week say he finally has access to life-saving medication following a kidney transplant. However, they added that federal authorities are still not giving him the correct dosage or the full regimen.

He was in the country legally, registered, complete with social security #

So much for "pro-life" ... again.

If his kidney is legal, take it back to before kicking him out.

It's takes a particularly level of scum to be okay with this inhumane treatment.

But then again they voted for the cruelty.

Dude is most likely going to die. Anti-rejection medication and the regime are super important. If he does die, in the totality of the circumstances it amounts to murder.

Nothing the GOP does is "pro-life".

Period.
