The Chinese national died in Pennsylvania in August, but his family's requests for answers from DHS have gone unmet.

A Chinese immigrant was found dead in U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention, with his hands and feet tied behind him, an attorney has alleged.

    Luckily ICE is taking the matter very seriously:

    Newsweek asked DHS whether Ge had been tied up and whether it was cooperating with the lawsuit filed in New York. Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin did not answer these questions, but repeated similar messaging on detention deaths: that ICE takes each one seriously and thoroughly investigates them all.

    Suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuure 🥴

    And that’s not all, how about this knee-slapper:

    DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin, in a statement to Newsweek: “Chaofeng Ge passed away at the Moshannon Valley Processing Center. All in-custody deaths are tragic, taken seriously, and are thoroughly investigated by law enforcement. ICE takes its commitment to promoting safe, secure, humane environments for those in our custody very seriously.”

    These fuckers lie through their teeth. I really really hope there is a special circle in hell just for people like this. We’ve somehow managed to find the most vile humans on the planet and put them in charge.
