    Coming at this from a slightly different direction: what would be the issue with him taking literally any drug if he’s already in custody? Do they think there are ‘break out of jail’ pills? If he was literally just taking recreational drugs, wouldn’t that just give them an even clearer ‘probable cause’ to hold him? If they have no duty to enforce the law, they can’t be held responsible for letting it happen. If he takes cyanide and keels over, doesn’t that just do what the cops want and ‘take another criminal off the streets?’ They don’t care about his continued life or they’d be bringing in a doctor on first request. There is zero downside for the cops to just letting people take whatever they want.

    They also haven’t been giving diabetics their meds/insulin.

    People on blood pressure meds.

    Stopping Both of these could easily cause death.

      Well then maybe they shouldn’t have been born brown, I guess.

    Witholding life-saving medication – manslaughter, if not outright murder.

      They have stoped paying contractors for medical care, and have nowhere near the capacity to provide it themselves, even if they wanted to.

      It’s systematic and lethal, and it’s been going on since October 2025. There’s a reason they aren’t allowing Congressional oversight or their constitutionally guaranteed inspections of their concentration facilities.

    Maybe if he would have gotten the organ transplanted in his own country with his own people’s organs, he wouldn’t NEED anti-REJECKTION medication! Anyone ever think of that??!!

    He should not be in federal housing at all if he’s immune compromised. I don’t want to know what happens when a transplant recipient gets measles.

      “I don’t understand why the federal government is taking Minnesotans who are not criminals, who are part of our communities, and violently ripping them off the streets after running into their cars, and then denying them access to life saving medication,” Hicks said.

      The cruelty is the point.

    When ICE can murder people on the street, why would this be a problem?

    No don’t his captors and jailors will be righteously angry that he stole an organ that should have gone to a “proper” American.
