No, I didn't have the same reaction. There is a big difference between people being hurt or killed for their opinions and families being separated because a dad broke the law.

This happens every day when someone's dad is sentenced and incarcerated for something like armed robbery.

If someone died in ICE custody due to neglect as you suggested, then EVERONE would have heard about it by now.

Well glad we said the quiet part out loud. You only get empathy when you're not deemed a criminal by the US government.

So to everyone reading this, remember, the pearl clutching isn't happening for conservatives because a person died. Its because a "good" person died in their eyes. Whereas "bad" people are ok to be killed off.

This is why conservatives deserve no sympathy. If it was viable, they would line up anyone liberal or leftists and put them into concentration camps.
