Congress voted for more money for more of this
In October, ICE grabbed Maher Tarabishi.

He was a 24/7 caregiver for his disabled son Wael.

At the time of Maher’s detention, disability advocates warned that taking away Wael’s caregiver put his life at risk.

Wael died on Friday at age 30.

They didn’t get to say goodbye.
Disabled son of ICE detainee dies after 30 days of hospitalization

This is attempted murder.

I miss music and laughter. I miss calm days where the world wasn't always heavy on my mind. I miss the carefree hours of sitting and picking medicines or walking the plains. I miss what our people gave one another, love. Peace. This is not a world of peace. Especially for native people right now💔🪶

The people advocating for removal, and there are some of our own, should be ashamed. And they should also be forced to feel what they wish for others. No support and loss. See if that is something they feel 'great' about life with. Policies would change fast www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

I will have to keep sharing until things change, and active job seeking for an old native with serious disabilities is not easy. But I am doing it anyway. I will give 10 years of living for 5 harder ones where the kids can be raised. 💕🪶
