🚨‼️Cuccinelli is a monster >> Citizenship & Immigration Services Ends Medical Deferred Action, a program allowing legal migrants to stay in US for life-saving medical treatment. They're now being referred to ICE for deportation and death. 33 days notice. npr.org/2019/08/27/754…

Rachel @Maddow just covered the most inhumane of all Trump’s immigration policies—ending Medical Deferment, sending critically ill children like Jonathan Sanchez to be deported and certain death. This quote is from the @NPR story linked to above. Do listen to his voice. #maddow

@maddow @NPR Maria came to US at invitation of doctors for treatment in a clinical trial. Thanks to her, FDA approved meds that improve survival rates for her disease. Trump admin is canceling her medical deferment. Deportation is a death sentence. nytimes.com/2019/08/29/us/… #maddow #inners

@maddow @NPR Maria's parents pay for the treatment that keeps her alive w/ private health insurance. Maria's now an advocate for ppl w/ rare diseases. She contributes to US society & isn't getting free care.

(A fact MAGA-eaten souls seem to think should figure in whether she lives or dies.)

@maddow @NPR Ending medical deferment is the latest dehumanizing Trump admin immigration policy, indifferent even to the critically ill, crime victims who helped law enforcement, & military families. Desensitizing ppl to cruelty & inhumanity is what the Nazis did too. #BanalityOfEvil. #Maddow

@maddow @NPR Dr Paul Harmatz, Maria's doctor: It's like pulling the plug on a respirator. It's devastating. Her home country doesn't offer this treatment. She's grown up here, thru grade school, college, and she's looking at graduate school. She's a leader in our program & the nation. #Maddow
