Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News

Veterans for Peace demand that ICE immediately provide necessary medical care to Zahid Chaudhry, a decorated US Army veteran who is disabled and wheelchair-bound. This former soldier has been denied access to critical treatment while in ICE custody. Zahid was abducted by ICE several weeks ago during a routine immigration interview. Since then, he has been held at a privately run concentration camp, despite being a low-risk detainee. He has now gone more than six weeks without access to essential treatment for exophthalmos, a severe condition caused by his hyperthyroidism. Zahid was receiving scheduled infusions of Tepezza every three weeks; treatment that must be administered in a medical facility with constant monitoring of his vital signs.

Zahid Chaudhry was due for his next infusion on the very day ICE detained him and he never made it to that critical medical appointment. Since then, all requests from the detention center's physician to resume his infusions have been ignored. As a result, Zahid is rapidly losing his peripheral vision, a condition that may become permanent if treatment is not resumed immediately. His health is deteriorating in confinement, isolated from his family, community, and the medical care he urgently needs.

This is how the GOP treats veterans.

They are nothing more than props to use for photo ops.

Trump hates veterans, particularly disabled veterans.

Trump bans them from Military Parades. He cant stand the sight of them.

Calls em "suckers and losers".

BOAZ is good with it.

This is yet another example of why DHS and ICE agents do not want to be transparent of their efforts to Americans.

Stated differently, why do they seem to need to wear masks and not identify themselves?

What are they afraid of?

And yet, the people at DHS is lamenting over the increase in violence against ICE agents, acting as if they can't figure out why it's occurring.

#7. Perhaps it's in part the constant drumbeat these these agents are brownshirts rounding up innocents for slaughter?

They are. Why Sugarcoat it?

Thugs using Color of Law to Oppress innocent people.

They're Afraid. Good. They Should Be.

Real Americans don't Cotton to Arbitrary and Capricious Detentions and Abuse.

They Shoot Back.

Just like the Fellers in Concord and Lexington.

ICE is Out of Control. The Cure is worse than the Malady.

Amnesty..Total Amnesty.. would Be better than Blanket Deportations and the Abuses that accompany it.

In addition to Zahid Chaudhry, 100,000 veterans who bravely fought for America but lack US citizenship are now terrified of being deported, thanks to the inhuman, unpatriotic, draft-dodging Dummkopf Trumpf: www.militarytimes.com

#10 - That was infuriating.

#8 Bellringer No, maybe it's because they are picking up anybody who's not white and trying to deport them whether they're a legal immigrant here on a Visa, Green Card, or an American citizen. Also, not letting detainees contact their family or get a lawyer, making sure that no one can find the detainee for days, weeks, and even months. Capturing immigrants going to their hearings before they see the judge. That way they can deport them for missing a court scheduled hearing on their immigration status.

What nonsense! That is as stupid an idea as what they(Trumpanzee's administration) is doing now. I can tell you first hand what a country is like where you let anybody that wishes to come into your country. I live in a Latin American country half the year and we have had a million migrants from Venezuela and Colombia in the past couple of years and while 95% of them are good people 5% are straight up gangsters only coming in to commit crime; smuggling in US guns, drugs and hardened cartel kidnapping and extortion rackets is all they wish to do. Car jackings and home or commercial invasion are all the rage as are the hundreds of barber shops where these criminals sit around all day and night and laundry their gang's money while giving each other haircuts. You want to go to some other country then you go in through the front door or do not go. That simple. Yes, I know that people are suffering in war zones and especailly in Latin America many countries are overwhelmed with gangs and American made weapons and I can feel for people that wish to migrant, like I did, but they have got to show up at the gate and ask for asylum.
