I think it’s wrong to be piling on here and somehow blaming ICE. They’ve had hundreds of thousands of people that they had custody of over the years, and I think these are the only two children that have died, certainly in recent memory. So, considering all of that, considering what does happen in housing projects across the country, I think ICE has an excellent record and I’d be reluctant to be doing any piling on here right now, or trying to make political points with this.
Schwartz writes: "In the last decade, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection commissioner Kevin McAleenan, there have been two children to die in the custody of the U.S. Customs and Border Protection agency. Both deaths happened this month."

Wilson writes: "And while we wish a Christmas miracle would transform this old garbage into something new, the reality is the waste left over from the holiday shopping frenzy is more likely than ever to end up in a landfill or incinerator."
