British National dies in ICE custody..

A 39-year-old British man died in Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody on Saturday — the fifth person to do so since October, according to a person with knowledge of the matter.

Eight people died in ICE custody during the entire 2019 fiscal year.

The man's cause of death at a facility in Florida has been preliminarily determined to be asphyxiation due to hanging, according to the source.

ICE did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

ICE has expanded the number of people it detains to record levels under President Donald Trump. As of late January, the agency was detaining nearly 41,000 immigrants. The peak came this summer, when around 55,000 immigrants were in custody in local jails and private prisons across the country.

Maybe they should do this country a favor, quit voting, and find a harmless hobby to pursue.

If only there were a harmless hobby to distract them with!

There should be a Nobel Peace Prize for whoever can come up with one and sell them on it.
