🚨ICE WITHHELD MEDICAL CARE FROM A DIABETIC MAN. HE DIED. THEN THEY MARKED HIM AS "RELEASED."

37. My blood is boiling right now.

This is hitting way too close to home for me. My husband is a late onset type I insulin-dependent diabetic. His blood sugar is under good control now *knock on wood* but he went into diabetic ketoacidosis 3 different times in the past. The first time we weren't sure exactly what was going on at first and waited longer than we should have to take him to the hospital. The other two times we knew exactly what was happening and rushed him to the hospital right away. All 3 times it was terrifying, and all 3 times he had to spend 2 days or more in the hospital, getting his blood sugar stabilized enough to where it was safe for him to come home.

After the last episode, he got a wearable blood glucose monitor which has made it much easy easier to keep things under control. That thing starts beeping any time his blood sugar goes outside the desired range just a little bit, and he can rake immediate steps to rectify things before it gets out of hand.

After what we have been through, reading about that poor man dying of untreated diabetes sent chills down my spine. There's NO WAY they didn't know there was something wrong with him. When someone's blood sugar spikes high enough to be fatal, they get very, very, noticeably sick and eventually lose consciousness. Someone HAD to have noticed that something was off. They obviously didn't give a damn, and figuring they wouldn't face any consequences, they were more than happy to let him fucking die without any medical attention. I hope his family sues for billions of dollars.

There are people who deserve to be criminally prosecuted as well, OF COURSE, and I hope to God that will happen eventually. I don't expect it will as long as the Orange Hellbeast is in the White House, but he won't be there forever, and there's s no statute of limitations on cold blooded murder. Someone needs to pay, and I hope and pray they will.

And there are at least 30 other people who have died in ICE custody? Holy fucking God, what is it going to take? How much longer is this going to be allowed to go on? How many more people have to fucking DIE before somebody DOEX something?

I blame Donald fucking Trump and Stephen fucking Miller and Kristi fucking Noem for this, along with all those who were directly involved, and I also blame every single fucking Republican in the House and Senate for letting this go on unchallenged. They are ALL garbage humans, and I despise every fucking one of them.
