Renee Good was alive when the bystander physician asked to check her pulse. She was alive when ICE refused to let him help. She was alive when they told him “I don’t care.”

It’s important to emphasise that countries are not being penalised for refusing to take back their own nationals who have been deported, but for not accepting random people that the Trump administration has deported. E.g. they sent Vietnamese, Cubans and other nationalities to South Sudan.
The United States is considering restricting entry to citizens of an additional 36 countries in what would be a significant expansion of the travel ban announced by the Trump administration early this month, according to a State Department memo reviewed by The Post. wapo.st/4kIiXUX
