In an email, Department of Homeland Security spokesperson Lauren Bis said, “ICE had NOTHING to do with this woman’s death. She passed away THREE days after ICE encountered her.”

All these ghouls type the same way.

"The Gestapo had NOTHING to do with Anne Frank's death. She passed away MONTHS after the Gestapo encountered her."

You're correct, but also wtf is that logic? By that line of reasoning, if you were to lock lock someone in a room and they starved to death a few days later, you'd "have NOTHING to do with" their death. Obvious nonsense take, with or without the administration's trademark toddleresque delivery.

The administration is trying to absolve themselves for culpability the same way abusers do

You can just feel the compassion can't you.

They read too many of Trump's rants on Truth Social

I don't think they're educated enough to credit them with having a large language model.

Nah, Grok doesn’t write like that.

Probably also worth noting that prior to ICE abducting her:

She was arrested last summer for yelling at imaginary people... She spent six months in Washington County Jail

because the only language the USA knows is violence, and that transcends departments.

Edit: the violence is holding her in jail for 6 months. I'm not trying to dehumanize the victim for allegedly "yelling at imaginary people". Even a magistrate judge is quoted as noting you can't hold someone in jail for that, after she spent six months in jail.

Whoever made the decision to release her into the winter, with fall clothes, should be charged with murder, along with those who transported her, and dumped her.

Prison awaits all you jackals.

I love that the county coroner refused to deal with ICE in any way. They didn't even tell them that she was dead, they had to get confirmation in the news media.

Also, that the judge had to tell Homeland Security that they couldn't keep her locked up because it's not illegal to threaten an imaginary person. THAT was her crime.

Prison is too kind and offers too many loopholes. We know what to do with fascists.

I don't want prison for ICE, I want death. They have earned the hatred.

A magistrate said he could not hold her for trial for threatening imaginary people, Murphy said. Afterward, ICE arrested her in her cell, put an ankle monitor on her and took her 25 miles (40 kilometers) away to Pittsburgh, where she sat at a bus shelter for days in winter, he said.

“She was in September clothes and it was February, and the weather overwhelmed her and she went into hypothermia,” Murphy said.
