WASHINGTONDefending the law enforcement agency from criticism about detaining thousands of people who had been living or seeking asylum in the U.S., Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials argued Tuesday that migrants in their camps are free to die at any time. Its been our position from the beginning that if anyone weve detained doesnt like it here, theyre welcome to drop dead, said ICE acting director Mark Morgan, adding that accusations about poor conditions at the agencys facilities completely ignored the fact that migrants were categorically permitted to expire at any time of their choosing. Dont point fingers at us, okay? If migrants want to go meet their maker, thats their prerogative. Thats our policy for any detained migrant, no matter their status or agethey all have free rein to perish from this earth at any moment and return to dust. No ones keeping them alive here. Morgan backed up his assertions by noting that several detained migrants had chosen to die already and the agency hadnt lifted a finger to stop them.

(61,897 posts)The Onion article is a punch to the gut, but it does make one think about the dark path Trump and his people are following.
Some truly evil people have been targets of satire, including Idi Amin and you-know-who.
