Francisco Gaspar-Andrés died in El Paso hospital after being detained at Fort Bliss – his wife was deported to Guatemala without a chance to see him
A Guatemalan man has become the first person to die in the custody of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) at the Fort Bliss army base in Texas. His wife of 25 years was deported from the same camp without a chance to see her dying husband.
Francisco Gaspar-Andrés, 48, died on 3 December at a hospital in El Paso, as Democratic lawmakers and immigration advocates were ramping up demands that the camp be closed down amid allegations of inhumane conditions there. The DHS has said such allegations are “categorically false”.
For these ghouls, the cruelty is not a bug, it’s a feature.
I was arguing with a pro-ICE guy the other day about how people are dying in ICE custody, or being sent to foreign countries to die, but I gave up when he said those people’s lives are worthless anyway.
You can’t argue with people like that. They’ll never understand things like compassion or empathy.
