Bastard trump really needs to spend a couple of months held in one of his “camps”.

Some things just can’t be helped.

God bless him

Jeez el Salvador seems like a pretty shit place, I wonder why the left isn't calling for some action to end terrible conditions there..... I guess we can just take in all 5 billion of the world's poor. Seems totally reasonable

And? Why don't we see such coverage on the many individuals that dies in NY, or Michigan, or Ohio..... Because they are citizens

They also die in the desert when crossing the border. They put themselves in harms way.

are they quarantining Ice now?

And this is your big story? Why not a story on how the states did not prepare for a pandemic!

Good for him.

I am sure he would have survived if he had not crossed the border.

😪

In ICE custody at the pictured internment camp?

Thousands of nursing home residents died when Cuomo sent Covid 19 + patients to nursing homes.

Just think...if only he had stayed home and not illegally entered another country, he could possibly still be alive 🙄 Stop the bullshit racebaiting ABC

The fake news media can't focus on Americans.

So

And Wtf we had 75,000 Americans die. EnemyOfThePeople

Puckster1955 FreeThemAll AbolishICE

Murder is what this was

Is ICE responsible for covid? No.

I wish I could go to another Country illegally and vote in their elections, get medical for free, and receive stimulus checks. But that would be retarded. That's why no country would even consider that for me. So.... whyarewe

Should have stayed in El Salvador!!! Why dont you report about something important like Gen Michael Flynn being exonerated. liberalnewshacks

Bullship
